Best Health Fund In Australia.

published

I have been in several health funds 35 years in total and Health.com is by far the best. I was previously in BUPA and was paying $40 a month more for less cover. For example, on a $200 dental account with Bupa I was getting back $40 with Health.com I get $150 to $160. They text and let you know when premiums are coming out every month and If you call them they are extremely helpful. I get aprox 75% to 80% back and my limits are higher.I have never felt the need to leave a review before but this time it is deserved.

Great Health Fund

published

Best health fund I have been a member of, glad I made the change. Was initially worried that they were a internet based health fund with no branches but I need not have been concerned at all. Been with them for over a year now and very happy. I love that I receive a sms message days before my direct debit is due to come out, also appreciate the sms message I automatically receive the day after i have paid for a service advising me what I should have paid to the provider and the amount they should have rebated me. Have only needed to ever call twice and that was when I first joined needing assistance to navigate the website to log in to my details. Great service.

Terrible service

published

I had an account that I cancelled. They did not process the cancelation and charged me for a full month of insurance anyway. It has now been 10 days and 3 phone calls and I still do not have a refund. This is effectively stealing money from my bank account.
One of their phone operators actually said that other operators were "not trained well" when I questioned why the delay. That is from their own staff and as of now I am still waiting for my money back...........

Best customer service ever

published

I joined health.com.au a few months ago over the phone, and could not be happier - I shifted from my other health insurance of over 10 years to health.com.au, and was so surprised with 1. how much I saved 2. the IMMEDIATE customer service 3. how much I get back compared to my previous one 4. can use ANY dentist/chiro/optometrist etc i want and much more. Thanks health.com.au for an unexpected great experience with a health insurance company. I wish all the other companies I deal with treated me the same way.

Wonderful. Easy. Great Customer Service. Excellent online use.

published

So easy to get a quote and so easy to sign up. You can change your level of cover online (up or down).

When I wanted to change the day my payment came out, I was able to do it easily using the live chat feature which was all too quick and easy (thanks [name removed] is customer service)

If you want great value, great customer service, flexibility and an easy self service online platform... look no further than health.com.au
Simplicity, competitive prices and flexibility

Great simple insurance! You know what you get back! No preferred providers!!

Reliable and trustworthy insurance.

I joined health.com.au in December 2012 as I needed a root canal treatment. As far as I know, Health.com.au is the only insurance that consider root canal treatment as general dental instead of major dental. I found the website very easy to use. It is very easy to make claim and it is processed relatively quickly. I am so grateful for this company and recommend it to everyone I know.
Great price, easy to make claims, great website, great cover

Really easy health insurance!

published

I found Health.com.au very simple to use, and very helpful whenever I have had any questions - my phone call was answered right away, the person at the end of the phone, based in Melbourne, helped me with my enquiry and I was on my way to the Osteopath in no time. I just wish my back was as easy to fix as my health insurance was to use!
Swipe my card at the health provider, nothing more to do.

Hi being a member of health.com will I be able to get into our public hospital in Hobart quicker than some one without insurance ? Emergency’s excepted

Hi There!

Unfortunately, holding private cover does not guarantee quicker access or treatment in a public hospital, as exactly when you get admitted depends on a number of factors.

For example the type of treatment you need, in addition to the availability of both staff and the required facilities, are things that could impact how quickly you're admitted.

As a private patient, you can request to be treated by your specialist of choice in a public hospital, however this would need to be arranged in consultation with staff at the facility.

I hope that information helps!

Please don’t hesitate to get back in touch if you have further questions.

If considering changing over my current health insurance from Medibank Private, is there a waiting period incurred on claiming? I am looking for health cover that is basic and easy to claim where necessary. I am not a high user of medical treatments.

Thanks Kathlin

Most health funds have waiting periods for various procedures. This is normal and usually in place to stop people getting cover just as they need treatment then stopping cover once all their treatment is complete.

Im not sure on what specific policy health.com.au has in this regard. However, many will waive the waiting period if you are transferring from a previous equal/higher level of cover or even as as incentives to switch over. My advise is simply to shop around and ask all your questions before committing to any health fund.

As I have previously mentioned, my experiences with health.com.au have been good. I am personally not a high user of medical treatments and it works for me personally. I have also found it easy to claim but i have only used the HICAPS system of claiming.

Hope that helps
