今天打电话给HBF了,call center接电话的小伙子把我转给一个中国人,态度很nice的,明确说了没有medicare帐号不能买保险,即使我不要rebate。我问人家TR怎么买保险呢?她说如果TR的配偶是PR那就可以买,如果couple都是TR,似乎只能买overseas visitor cover之类的。overseas visitor估计是不能cover pregnancy的吧?这个忘了问。
到下午,终于收到HBF的回复了,跟早上call center应该是两路人马的。其中一段回复如下:
The main problem is the Medicare number. You would be better to take out Overseas Visitors Health Cover while you are waiting for your Medicare number. This will make sure you are covered for hospital stay and also GP visits for the interim.
它这是建议我买Overseas Visitors Health Cover吗?
