They just clip the ticket
Great at doing the comparison, woeful on the switch.... Ended up with two policies at the same time and two premiums because they got the start dates wrong (I did confirm what was required in writing). I picked it up early and tried to work with them to sort it out but got no help, still trying to sort it out while they site on their hands..... . They just clip the ticket for the commission.
My advice get some quotes independently and build a simple spreadsheet for comparison. I was with my previous insurer for 20 years and with the added costs of the stuff ups I would have been better just negotiating a better deal with them and avoiding what is nothing more than the MIDDLE MAN.

HIC has helped me twice now!
I recently contacted HIC and spoke with a lovely young lady, who ultimately helped me find a fund that better suited my needs & actually cost a little less than I was paying. My previous fund was excellent for my needs before, but I have aged somewhat since I joined it, so my needs now are different, so I have now opted for things like joint replacements & dental crowns. What I didn't realise however, was that it was also HIC who had put me onto my previous fund! I changed, with their help, because I no longer needed any help with pregnancy, so...Read more
they found a more suitable fund for me .. even way back then! I would recommended HIC to everyone. It doesn't hurt to check if you're in the best fund or not, & you don't have to change if you don't want to. Thanks, HIC.1 comment

Great communication, all the information we needed
My consultants, Anthea and Stephen, were excellent - courteous, knowledgeable and provided information for health fund comparisons in a factual and timely manner. Very helpful, and helped us to find a good health fund with excellent benefits that fitted our needs, and much cheaper than we paid last year.

Karl was warm, helpful and knowledgeable. He listened to our needs and then suggested a fund which offered a lower premium. We look forward to dealing with our new health fund.

Easy to follow phone conversation
Karl went out of his way to find us an appropriate policy to give us the best cover for our premium and needs. We were rather nervous transferring from another health fund after being with them for 35 years and Karl explained very clearly to us that we would still be receiving top cover the same as our previous health fund for a lot less money than we were paying with the existing health fund. As self funded retirees, we had been wanting to compare health fund costs for a long time as our premiums kept getting higher and were expensive but it...Read more
was all too hard to do on our own. Karl was very patient in explaining everything to us and reassuring us that we would be better off with the policy he recommended. Karl gave us the perfect policy for our needs to suit our budget - thank you Karl.1 comment

Big savings, but at a price
Comparing health fund products is still complex, despite recent Government changes, as not only are you comparing what's in and what's out between products, but the level of benefits from each provider for each service. HIC cut to the chase and found a product suitable for us at a significant monthly saving, but we had to forego zero hospital excess and exclude two major services, which we had been paying for, but figured we would get 12 months lead time if they were needed down the track. HIC provided us with the impetus, through sound, logical discussions, to make the change after more than 40 years with the same provider.

Hopless, ended up paying more for less
Hopless, ended up $15 paying more per month for less (after loading was factored in), was misled & deceived by an incompetent unsolicited caller that didn't factor in my lifetime loading. I received no feedback or concern at all and realised that these guys are only after money and couldn't give a damn about their customers

Very useful tool for Health Insurance
Offers were factual, very efficient prompt service from very polite knowledgeable gentleman. Everything he told me was verified by the new company I went with, including warning me I may get an aggressive call from my past company. This enabled me to be prepared with my responses without getting flustered. Thank you
