Health Insurance is designed for those who suffer from long-term illnesses, such as cancer.
The New Zealand public health system and ACC provides quality emergency care and treatment for serious medical conditions and helps support people who need urgent medical attention. However, many people choose to have a Medical Insurance because they are facing a long term and not-accidental health issue and want to have a quiet recovery.
Private Health Cover enables you to take control of your health so that medical conditions can be treated promptly at a convenient time and location, and with your choice of medical provider.
Rising health care costs continue to put pressure on the public system’s ability to both diagnose and treat non-urgent medical conditions, including those with a significant impact on lifestyle.
