Don’t see your optical benefits disappear this year

If you have private health, now’s the time to check with your health fund if you have any optical entitlements remaining for this year.

Most major funds have a cut-off point at the end of December and not the typical end of year. This reflects a ‘use it or lose it’ policy when it comes to yearly member entitlements. Generally, the more comprehensive your cover, the higher the annual limits. You may find this extends to a contribution to prescription sunglasses to protect your eye health this summer. Call UFS Optical on 5441 8077 to make an appointment. Remember, UFS Members save more at UFS Optical.*
