Hello,

I'm an OVHC with a 482 visa. As part of my visa requirements, I am required to have an OVHC even though, I’m entitled to Reciprocal Medicare. I was under the assumption that the OVHC would help reduce the Medicare levy surcharge as it is a private health care insurance. It turns out my health insurance could not be used against the Medicare Surcharge Levy. Is there a solution to this? As I feel I’m paying huge amounts towards to surcharge and also private health insurance.

any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
