More back in your pocket: We’re increasing benefits on some popular Extras
We know that getting more back is important to our members, and as a not-for-profit health fund, we’re focused on continually improving our products and services for you.
From time to time, CBHS reviews Extras benefits − and we’re pleased to confirm that we’re increasing ‘per item’ benefits on selected dental, chiropractic and podiatry services. These new benefit amounts will apply from 1 April 2023.
