Private Health Insurance Rebate Statements will be issued again this year to all policy holders to assist in the completion of their 2011 – 2012 tax returns. If you have held cover with us and/or paid a premium during the last financial year you should receive your statement by 15 July 2012. Alternatively, the statements will be available for download from online member services approximately one week prior to this date.

The statement includes all premiums which have been received and processed by St.LukesHealth during the financial year 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012. The statement will also show the amount you may be able to claim on your tax return if you have not already received your Australian Government Rebate entitlement as a premium reduction throughout the year.

For further information about your statement, refer to the back of the statement when received.

As you may be aware the Australian Government has recently made changes to the way the Private Health Insurance Rebate will be calculated. From 1 July 2012 the rebate will be subject to an income test. Read on to see how these changes may affect you.
