Health insurance New Zealand

We cover pre-existing conditions

Health insurance claims in New Zealand topped just over a billion dollars ($1.2 Billion) in one year.  

If you were to become unwell, you would want to take steps to get back to good health as soon as possible.  While New Zealand does have a public health system, you are not always guarantee fast access to treatment.  This means you may be waiting for months or years in pain for a specialist consultation and subsequent treatment.  Your condition could even deteriorate.  

The reality is that while you may be in good health now, it is likely that you or someone you love could experience a significant health problem.  Having faster access and a greater choice of treatment options means you can get back to work faster, so that you can continue to earn an income and pay those important expenses such as your mortgage.  

An average of 5,362 people per month have been waiting for longer than 6 months for their first specialist assessment through the public health system.
