More than 1.4 million Kiwis have private medical insurance according to the Healthy Funds Association of NZ.
We are so fortunate to live in a country that has a good quality public health system though it is not without its challenges. Sadly, when waitlists are lengthy and/or you live in particular areas of the country the public hospitals or specialist services will not be accessible to you and so Medical Insurance is so beneficial.
It also gives you some more control over your healthcare with the options of getting cover for extra treatments such as dental, optical, chiropractic etc.
It is important to talk to one of our experienced Insurance Link Otago Advisers to help you select which Medical Insurance policy is right for you.
