How to choose the right cover for you

Depending on where you're at in life, there are features you'll want from your health cover, and ones you won't - for example, not many 22 year olds need hip replacements.

There are two types of Private Health Insurance (PHI);

Stuff you need to get done in a hospital (that's Hospital Cover)

Choosing a hospital cover is important

The level of hospital cover you choose determines the types of procedures and services you're covered for (like removal of tonsils, childbirth, heart surgery etc). The higher the level of cover, the more procedures you will be covered for.

Our covers are affordable because we've carefully chosen what's included - and excluded for each.

Everyday stuff you can use to stay healthy like dental and physio (that's Extras Cover)

Ok, so what are Extras?

Things you can use everyday to stay healthy, like going to the dentist, a visit to the physio, or a new pair of glasses.

Medicare doesn't cover these, so having cover for Extras will help pay for the cost of them. Unlike most health funds, we pay benefits as a percentage of the cost to you, so you know what you get back every time. Even better, the higher your cover, the more services you're covered for and the more you get back.

Great news! Most of the nib covers you can choose from will give you both Hospital and Extras.

Basically, people looking into PHI fall into 3 categories...

We call them lifestages, and for each one, there's a range of covers to choose from, with prices to match. The different stages are:

Just for you

Cover for singles

For Both of You

Cover for couples

For All of You

Cover for families (and single parents!)

When it comes to choosing the best Cover, we keep it simple.
