My Medibank 17+

My name is Kelly Nichols and I have the absolute top cover with Medibank Private health insurance and extremely satisfied with the benefits that I receive when it comes to my health. I only have one concern and that is not this year but last year I got optical glasses and I got two pairs and one was for nearsighted and one was for farsighted and I did not have to pay any gap and I got the glasses completely free now this year I got multifocal glasses and just the one pair and I believe the glasses themselves cost $299 and I also got the transition lens so that when I go outside it turns into sunglasses but I ended up paying $300 out of pocket so I’m not sure why last year I had absolutely no out-of-pocket fee and this year I had to pay a whopping $300. I’m just confused so if you could explain that to me, I would appreciate it. Kind regards Kelly Nichols.

Today I rang to speak to an operator. I had changed my password a couple weeks ago, however I could not log into my online account. In frustration with myself I rang Medibank. Unfortunately my sound was turned down on my phone and I did not quite hear the young lady’s name. The young Lady went beyond with her service to help resolve my issue. A very long phone call. The young Lady was contacting your IT area to see what they could do. Unfortunately the call disconnected. As I was driving I could not ring back & was going to a Dr’s appointment. Tonight I tried again to log in and with great success achieved my goal. I would like if somehow the young Lady can be identified and my sincere pleasure and thanks passed onto her for her assistance. I am sure many Staff could learn from her Customer Service.
A very happy Member

I suffer from panic disorder, and have 28 scripts to treat the anxiety and depression but I can only claim for my dexamphetamine and not my Alprazolam which is the only combination that works to treat my disorder.

It is less time consuming to take a photo of the receipt and upload it to an app such as NIB (who also covered all my scripts under $30 which is why I went back to NIB last time and now tempted to go back to them due to my regular prescriptions needed to manage my illness!

I find Medibank app too complex to use because most people getting prescription medication do not feel well enough to find the script number and I have several prescriptions from the one authorisation script so it’s confusing and hard work for my disorder. Plus I always got majority of money back from NIB. I have scripts here that NIB would have covered for me, and I’m disappointed Medibank don’t take mental illness and depression seriously enough. It’s very real and 1 in 3 people suffer from depression or anxiety (mostly both) so help us get well! Please?
