Know what’s included and excluded in your OSHC plan.

Delaying Claims Submission

Late claim submissions can be rejected or delayed.

Submit claims promptly with all supporting documents.

Using Non-Network Providers Without Checking

Visiting providers outside your insurer’s network can increase fees.

Confirm provider status before appointments where possible.
