Should you switch to a new health insurance policy?

Many reasons lead people to switch their health insurance, and if you’re in this situation, reviewing your policy options may help you find a more inclusive and competitively priced policy. When considering switching your health insurance policy or provider, some factors that come into play include:

Policy premium

Age, pre-existing medical conditions, claims history, and your benefits all contribute to your premium's total price. If you don't feel that you were getting the most out of your policy, or you're no longer willing or able to afford the payments, switching may help you to find an alternative more suited to your needs.

Cover and inclusions

If the level of cover or policy benefits you require is no longer reflected in your current policy, switching may help you refine or expand your policy benefits. Comparing what each provider has to offer may highlight more competitive ways to access the cover you need.

Policyholder benefits

Different health insurance policies and their providers offer a range of policyholder rewards and benefits. But you may find that there are alternative health insurance policies out there that offer you the same benefits for less money, or even additional benefits for the same price you are currently paying.

Policy provider

If you are looking to better the service you get from your current provider or if you have a specific alternative provider, that you’d like us to compare and looks at option to switch to, please let us know. We may be able to source a policy that has increased benefits for you to switch to that may be more suited for you.
