Why Choose Private Health Insurance?

Public healthcare in New Zealand has long been a cornerstone of the nation's commitment to equitable health access for all its citizens.

However, as with many healthcare systems worldwide, it faces significant challenges. From increasing wait times and workforce shortages to the pressures of an aging population and advancing medical technologies, the system is under strain.

Looking after the health needs of our families is an incredibly important purpose that all Kiwis share and we wanted to explore why we think health insurance is incredibly important.

How much does it all really cost?

7 Reasons You Need to Consider Health Insurance

  1. Greater Choice

    Enjoy the freedom to choose who provides your treatment and, with your GP or Specialist, decide where and when it takes place. This flexibility reduces uncertainty, enabling better planning and minimizing disruption.

  2. Less Waiting

    Avoid the detrimental effects of long waits for treatment, which can lead to deteriorating health and developing secondary issues. Shorter waiting times alleviate pain and emotional stress.

  3. Less Worry

    Reduce anxiety and stress for yourself and your loved ones by cutting down the waiting period for treatment. Faster access to care means less time spent worrying.

  4. Less Lost Income – Financial Support

    Bad health can lead to time off work and lost income, either for you or a supportive family member. Private health insurance can alleviate the additional financial burden of paying for treatment out-of-pocket.

  5. Access to Leading-Edge Treatments

    Stay ahead with access to the latest advancements in medical practices and treatments. Private health insurance can cover treatments that might otherwise be unaffordable.

  6. Preventative Care

    Make it easier to stay healthy and enjoy life to the fullest. Benefit from preventive care to maintain your well-being and safeguard your hard-earned achievements.

  7. Increased Certainty and Confidence about the Future

    Gain greater certainty about access to support and treatment when needed.
