What is the EMSN?

The Extended Medicare Safety Net (EMSN) provides an increased Medicare benefit for Australian families and individuals who have high out-of-pocket costs for out-of-hospital services, once the annual threshold is reached. This benefit is up to 80% of future out-of-pocket costs for out-of-hospital Medicare services for the rest of the calendar year, subject to caps on some services.
