Roy Morgan Research recently published updated information on insurance coverage in New Zealand, revealing about one in seven New Zealander’s have no insurance whatsoever and just one in four have Private Health / Medical insurance.
This suggests Kiwi’s are taking a “she’ll be right” attitude with their health, which is of a concern as you never know when an unexpected illness could happen.
Having a health plan in place helps maintain the health and wellness of you and your family.
Key benefits of health insurance:
- Access to private treatment for non-acute medical conditions
- More choice over where and when you receive treatment
- Less financial stress by reducing your costs of private treatment and time off work
- Less reliance of public waiting lists
- Preventative Screening
- Cover now for unknown health issues that may arise in future
It’s difficult to calculate how much you’ll spend on health care each year. But having heath insurance helps pay for sudden, expensive medical costs. We can structure some health insurance plans to help pay for for common services like annual check-ups, recommended health screenings and preventive care services.
Some plans even encourage you to seek routine preventive care which may help you avoid developing an illness or health condition, or find it at an earlier stage when it’s often more treatable.
