Top 3 Signs You're Overpaying

Good value health cover is more than just finding the cheapest possible policy. Here are our experts’ top 3 signs you may not be getting value for money.

3 signs your health cover may not be the best value:

1. You’re shelling out a lot of extra $$$

Paying excessive out-of-pocket costs usually means your health fund’s benefits aren’t a great fit for you and your family.

2. You’re constantly paying for unnecessary extras

Paying for extras services you don’t use - like orthodontic cover when you don't need your teeth straightened - is a waste of your hard earned dollars.

3. You’re travelling further to access your health fund’s ‘in-network’ specialists

If your local providers, like dentists, don’t have agreements with your health fund you either have to travel further to find ones that do, or pay higher out-of-pocket fees.

Seeing the signs?

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re smart to consider other options.
