FAQs

What are the annual limits?

Flex My Extras has a combined annual limit of $650 per person per calendar year. You can use your limit on any covered extras service. Optical has a separate limit of $175 and remedial massage and myotherapy have a separate limit of $100 per person per calendar. Through our No-Gap network, you also get 100% back on 1 dental check up, scale and clean and fluoride treatment per person per calendar year (which doesn’t affect your $650 annual limit).

How much do I get back?

With Flex My Extras, you get a percentage back benefit on any covered extras service. The amount you get back in benefits is 60%, up to your annual limit. For example: you attend a consultation with a physiotherapist and they charge you $80. With Flex My Extras, you’ll get $48 back if you haven't reached your $650 annual limit. Through our No-Gap network, you also get 100% back on 1 dental check up, scale and clean and fluoride treatment per person per calendar year.
