GU Health First Choice Optical
We've partnered with a range of optical providers to bring our members discounts and No Gap offers.
What is GU Health’s First Choice network?
Our aim is to make quality optical care more affordable and accessible. That’s why, we’ve created GU's First Choice network, which is our community of specially selected health providers which offer eligible members a range of agreed rates, discounts and offers.
Meaning you can pay less for common health services and maximise your benefits.
Optical providers in our network
Simply show your GU Health card at any of our First Choice Optical provider stores to access these discounts. If you have Extras cover with remaining limits, you can also benefit from our no gap offers¹.
Some brands we’ve partnered with include:
Specsavers
Bailey Nelson
The Optical Company stores
OPSM and Laubman & Pank
No Gap optical offers
If you have Extras cover that includes optical, you can take advantage of our No Gap offers¹.
What is No Gap?
A gap payment, also known as an out of pocket expense, is the difference between what you are charged and how much Medicare or your health fund will give you back. Using one of our No Gap offers means the total cost of these products will be fully covered by us.
