Key points

Tests may include blood tests, X-rays, ultrasound, CT and MRI scans.

Some core policies cover diagnosis only if it leads to in-patient treatment.

What to check in the policy documents

Policy terms differ between insurers. When looking at this topic, the documents to read are the policy summary, the full policy wording and your schedule. Points worth checking include: diagnostics benefit; out-patient limit; how diagnosis is funded under core cover.

This page cannot confirm whether any person, condition or treatment would be covered. That depends on the insurer's terms and decision.
