HIF Optical Cover

Optical cover that's a sight for sore eyes

Learn more about eye tests and optical insurance

Let's start with eye tests. If you hold a current Medicare card, you’re eligible for the Medicare subsidy for eye tests provided by optometrists. Most optometrists bulk bill (meaning you won't need to pay anything up front), otherwise you can make a claim directly from Medicare, which may cover some or all of the charge.

If your test results show that you need glasses or contact lenses, that's where your Extras Cover comes in.

With HIF, you can claim 100% of your annual limit on whatever optical items you need, whether it's spectacles, contact lenses or prescription sunglasses (the only things we don't cover are tinting, coating and grinding). 

And because we don't have 'participating provider' schemes, you're free to purchase your optical items from any provider in Australia.

We do have heaps of bonus discounts locked in with a huge range of retail and online providers though, saving you up to 25% in some cases - and that's before you've even made a claim!

HIF Optical benefits

Want to maximise your optical benefit?

Here's an example of how you can...

Millie holds HIF Top Extras, so her optical annual limit is $300 a year. She visits Specsavers for a free eye-test (covered by Medicare) and learns that she needs glasses. She chooses a pair of designer frames and lenses priced at $250 and immediately receives a bonus 25% discount for being an HIF member, bringing the cost down to $187.50.

She swipes her HIF membership card through the store's eClaiming terminal and we process her benefits on the spot, covering 100% of the fee. Millie then has $112.50 remaining to put towards other optical items for the remainder of the year. 

The following week, Millie decides to purchase some contact lenses from clearlycontacts.com.au and enters the promo-code "HIF" at the checkout, giving her a bonus 20% discount and free shipping on purchases of $99+. She purchases $100 worth of contacts, which is reduced by $20 thanks to her HIF discount. Millie pays for the order in full, then photographs her receipt and lodges a claim through our member app. 

She receives her $80 benefit back in her bank account a few days later, and still has $32.50 remaining in her optical annual limit!
