The private health insurance rebate is an amount the government contributes towards the cost of your private health insurance premiums.
The rebate can be claimed for premiums paid for a private health insurance policy that provides private patient hospital cover or general cover, commonly
known as 'extras', or combined hospital and general cover.
This rebate is income tested, which means your eligibility to receive it depends on your income. If you have a higher income, your rebate entitlement may be reduced, or you may not be entitled
to any rebate at all.
If you or your family do not have a private health insurance policy that provides an appropriate level of private patient hospital cover,
and your income for Medicare levy surcharge (MLS) purposes is above a certain threshold, you will be required to pay the MLS.
Tax agents can no longer calculate any tax familiy benefit you might be entitled to.You need to make an application to the dept of Human Services.
