Nib share their top claims for June, plus a great new offer for pre-existing conditions
When it comes to health insurance, you’ve likely heard myths such as insurance doesn’t pay out, or you can’t claim after a certain age. However, the latest claim figures from insurance provider nib definitely prove otherwise.
The numbers of nib’s top five health insurance claims for June this year are in, and they serve to prove the true value of getting cover sorted as soon as you can.
With the top claim being a whopping $113,000 for heart surgery for a 72-year-old male, it’s clear to see that having the right cover in place really does make a difference. By 72, many Kiwis are in the midst of their retirement and likely don’t have sufficient funds to pay for this kind of treatment without insurance,
Interestingly, the other four top claims for June alone were all made by men and women over 60 years of age. From spinal surgery to cancer treatment, these procedures have undoubtedly increased the quality of life for these Kiwis so they can continue to enjoy their golden years.
See below for the actual figures from the top five health insurance claims from nib in June 2023.
Got a pre-existing condition?
Health insurance is something that you should always have in your back pocket should the worst happen, but sometimes people dismiss getting cover sorted because they have a pre-existing condition that they don’t think will be covered. But that’s not always the case.
Yes, pre-existing conditions can make you ineligible for certain types of insurance, but some providers release special offers where pre-existing conditions can be covered after a certain amount of time.
Nib is one such provider, with a new promotion on their Easy Health product. Easy Health usually offers cover for many pre-existing conditions after 3 years, but right now, nib is offering cover for those pre-existing conditions after just 2 years!
Plus, you could get a 10% lifetime discount on your premium if all applicants are under the age of 60 at the time you take out cover.
