The company emphasises the focus on members as opposed to profit , operating on a not-for-profit basis with no shareholders and with contributions staying in the fund in order to give back more in benefits and keep premiums low . A choice of providers is maintained , with benefits being received no matter the provider visited . 94 % of every premium dollar in 2018 went back to members in benefit .
Technological solutions are another focus . Joining , for instance , is made possible entirely online , as is viewing cover and limits and making claims . That latter function is made possible with an online portal or via a mobile app , which allows for the submission of receipt photos .
Internally , the organisation has switched to Oracle Health Insurance to enable and support its digital transformation . With the platform already being used by insurers across the world , Defence Health last year became the first Australian private health insurer to utilise the technology .
