You will have to pay the Medicare Levy Surcharge for any period during a financial year that you or any of your dependants did not have adequate private hospital hospital cover with a registered health fund.

However, the above calculation is based on only if one of the surcharge thresholds - single or family - applied to you for the whole of a financial year.
