What Price For Your Health?
What Price For Your Health? The premium is based on the age you join. So if you join at 35 you have a 10 per cent loading which you retain for the length of your cover. Ricki Smith, Manager Corporate Relations with HBF says there are a number of benefits that private health insurance brings. This includes choice of doctor, choice of hospital and location and timeliness. "You can go to hospital when you want to and avoid waiting," she says.
