HEALTH INSURANCE BROKER NEW ZEALAND

MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Should I get Health insurance through a broker ?

Of course, what possible reason is there not to?  In New Zealand Private Health insurance can generally be taken out in 2 key ways:

(1) Do It Yourself ‘ers (DIY) – for people comfortable making their own calculations on how much is required correctly, have researched and know the crucial differences between the different Health insurance companies, their policies details and terms. Usually we find people in this category base their decision mostly on whoever has the lowest price. Price is always an important factor but like most things in life, you typically get what you pay for and the cheapest isn’t always the smartest option when it comes to insurance. What we feel makes most sense is firstly getting free and independent advice from a registered Health insurance Adviser on what makes most sense for your particular situation.

 

(2) Independent Health Insurance Advisers – most Health insurance advisers in NZ work with all the major Health insurance companies, but importantly they are not employed by those Health insurance companies. This means they able to be objective when working with clients to determine which company will be the best fit for their individual situation. Typically after an adviser has calculated what the correct amount and type of cover is required, they will then be able to compare what that will cost via the different Health insurance companies in NZ. Ultimately this will lead to them being able to provide recommendations as to what your best options are and which makes most sense, with the reasons why.

However, every person’s situation is unique, and the best health insurance provider for you will come down to a number of factors including policy type, exclusions and cost. We can connect you with a broker to discuss your best options for insurance provider.

Is it worth having health insurance in NZ ?

Do I need health insurance?  We have all heard stories of long waits for treatment in the public health system, life-saving drugs that aren’t funded and so on. Health Insurance can offer benefits over the New Zealand public health system including

  • Avoiding the queue for non-urgent medical procedures
  • Faster private medical care can improve your quality of life
  • Higher hospitalisation standard
  • Your choice of specialist. Trust in your chosen medical professional can improve your patient outcome.
  • Options for dental or optician expense cover

Peace of mind for the health of yourself and your family

What are the types of health insurance ?

Each insurance company packages and brands their policies slightly differently.

  • There are policy types available for insuring individuals, yourself and your partner, or your whole family.
  • Basic or starter plan health insurance policies are available for a cheaper price but cover a more limited range of medical procedures, costs and medications. For example Southern Cross Wellbeing Starter or nib Standard Everyday cover.
  • Comprehensive plans policies that cover a broader range of surgeries, hospitalisation drugs and treatment options. For example Southern Cross UltraCare or nib Premium Hospital and Premium Everyday
  • Some health insurance companies have special add on cancer treatment policies, and some have the option of additional cover for non-Pharmac funded drugs.
  • There is the option to add in dental cover and optical cover with most health insurance plans.
  • Some policies cover full medical fee payments or rebates, and some offer a percentage rebate of your medical costs.

 

It can be confusing and time consuming to directly compare and sort through the policy options from health insurance companies. We can connect you with a broker to discuss the best plan for you and your family.

How much is health insurance in New Zealand ?

The cost of health insurance is hugely variable. The premiums for health insurance can range from as little as $9.85 per week for a basic plan (for a young healthy individual) to around $200 per week for a comprehensive plan (such as for an elderly smoker).

The cost of health insurance will typically be cheaper if you

  • Take out basic cover policy
  • Are younger in age
  • Have no or few pre-existing health conditions
  • Have no or little family history of certain illnesses
  • Live a healthy lifestyle (eg non-smoker)

The cost of health insurance will typically be more expensive if you

  • Take out comprehensive policy health insurance
  • Are older in age
  • Have pre-existing health conditions
  • Have a family history of certain illnesses
  • Are a smoker or consume high levels of alcohol
  • Choose added dental and optical cover

You may be eligible for discounts on your health insurance premium when ensuring your whole family, or yourself and your partner, with the same health insurance provider. In addition, some employers may offer discounts with certain health insurance companies.
