More than 1.4 million New Zealanders have private medical insurance according to the Healthy Funds Association of NZ.
We are so fortunate to live in a country that has a good public health system however it is not without its challenges. Unfortunately, when waitlists are long and/or you live in certain areas of the country the public hospitals or specialist services will not be available to you and so Medical Insurance is so very worthwhile.
It also gives the policy holder some more control over their healthcare with the options of getting cover for extra treatments such as dental, optical, chiropractic etc.
It is important to talk to one of our experienced Advisers to help you select which Medical Insurance policy is right for you.
