HEALTH INSURANCE
Our health insurance options AIA Private health
What is health insurance and why do you need it? AIA health insurance provides peace of mind that you can get faster access to medical treatment if you need it. Health insurance provides access to private medical care so you can focus on getting the right treatment and start your recovery sooner. Our public health system and ACC do a great job of supporting people who require urgent medical attention. However, relying on the public system for conditions that are non-urgent or non-accidental can result in long waiting lists and delayed treatment. Key benefits of our health insurance • No annual limit on the amount you can claim for surgeries under the surgery benefit. • Includes $500,000 extensive cancer cover for every stage: from diagnosis to treatment and recovery. • Children can be added to the policy at any time, and during their first three months of their life there is no underwriting required. • Worldwide treatment options available to cover costs of treatment overseas. Conditions and limitations apply.
This is comprehensive health cover providing access to private medical care when you need it most. Covers costs relating to specialist consultations, diagnostic imaging and tests, hospitalisation and surgery at a time, location and with the medical provider of your choice. Option available of upgrading to Private Health Plus for additional cover for specialist consultations, diagnostic imaging and tests, reproductive health and a health screening allowance. AIA Cancer Care This is a cancer only health cover that takes care of medical expenses associated with the diagnosis, treatment and recovery of cancer. Cover includes unlimited Cancer Surgery, access to specialist consultations, diagnostic imaging and tests and Pharmac and non-Pharmac Medsafe indicated cancer chemotherapy and immunotherapy drugs.
