About ahm health insurance
ahm health insurance, health insurance and other cover in Australia
ahm health insurance is an Australian insurer that operates as a business of Medibank Private Limited, one of the country's largest health insurance groups. The company states it has been operating for over 50 years and has served more than one million Australian customers with health, travel, pet, car and other types of cover.
What it covers
The insurer's catalogue is organised around two main health products: hospital cover and extras cover. The first is aimed at the costs of included treatments when the insured person is admitted to hospital as a private patient. The second helps pay for services such as routine dental check-ups, chiropractic and physiotherapy.
The company allows you to configure cover by combining hospital and extras, compare both types separately and check current offers. In addition to health, it sells travel, car, home, life, income and pet insurance, with discounts for ahm members on those other policies.
