Medical loans Australia

Loans for medical bills are a type of personal loan designed to specifically cover medical expenses. Whether you require medical loans for cosmetic surgery or a medical emergency loan, Jacaranda Finance will have a personal loan option to suit your needs. We offer three types of loans: small loans, medium loans and large loans.

Small medical loans are unsecured loans. Our medium and large loan types are secured medical loans. This means that an asset must be attached to the loan as security for the lender; you can use either a car, motorbike or caravan as collateral. If you would like more information about our personal loan fees and charges, please refer to our costs page.

• Urgent or emergency surgery (urgent, possibly life-threatening medical conditions)
  • Serious injuries from an accident
  • Acute appendicitis

Medical loans for bad credit

Searching ‘how to get a medical loan for surgery’, but worried your credit score may stop you? Jacaranda Finance is an online lender; this allows us to be more lenient in our credit requirements than traditional lenders. We offer bad credit personal loans to eligible applicants that meet our lending requirements. We conduct a thorough financial assessment on each of our applicants by utilising current bank statements. If we find that an applicant can reasonably manage their loan repayments, even with a bad credit history, we may be able to provide them with a medical loan.

We follow the responsible lending guidelines set by ASIC and therefore must still conduct credit checks on all of our applications. However, a bad credit score will not stop you from accessing medical finance from Jacaranda Finance. We are a financially inclusive lender; we put more focus on your ability to repay your loan currently, rather than your past.

FAQs

Health Insurance in Australia

Private health insurance in Australia is ‘community rated’; this means everyone can purchase the same product at the same price (excluding Lifetime Health Cover and Age-based discounts). A health insurer cannot refuse you any cover you wish to purchase. When looking into purchasing private health, here are some things you may wish to consider:

• What does your plan cover? Medicare covers most Australians for some health care; typically, you are either fully covered or are charged a gap fee. However, Medicare doesn’t cover everything so you may choose to take out private health insurance to give yourself comprehensive cover.
• How does your plan operate? There are two main categories of cover: hospital and general treatment cover. You can buy combined policies for both categories or separately. 
• Are you immediately covered for pre-existing conditions? If you are purchasing health insurance with a pre-existing medical condition, you should check with your provider whether you are covered straight away. Your health insurance provider may require you to wait a twelve-month waiting period before you are covered. 
• What government surcharges or incentives may affect your insurance? The Private Health Insurance Rebate, Lifetime Health Cover rules and Age-based discount affect how much you pay for private health insurance. The Medicare Levy Surcharge also affects people earning above a predetermined threshold who don’t hold private hospital cover. 

How does Medicare work?

Medicare is an affordable, accessible and high-quality health care system offered to most Australian residents. You can get a Medicare card if you live in Australia or Norfolk Island and meet certain criteria. You may be eligible for Medicare if you are here from another country, but limitations may apply.
