I did a health fund comparison online however, to get any results you must put in your personal details on the form including a phone number as it is a mandatory.

After completing the online questions, I got the information I needed and within minutes I received a phone call from them. I hadn't had any time to read through the notes and I told the sales person this and also told him that I DID NOT ask for a call back.

Since then, I am constantly harassed by these people, I would say I get a call at least every 2nd day. If you don't answer th...Read more

Spoke to a representative about switching health funds, explained my current level of cover (basic hospital only), joined a new fund with basic hospital and extras cover and was informed of no waiting periods for basic extras, can claim STRAIGHT AWAY and I can automatically get two dental check-ups per year with a number of dentists in my area without a gap payment!

A courtesy call from my new fund informed me that my policy did in fact have 2 month wait periods for basic extras as I did not have extras this on my previous cover, AND the no ga...Read more

We recently reviewed our existing private health cover through Health Insurance Comparison and it was the best move we made. The person we dealt with was professional, informative and worked out the best deal saving us 50% on premiums with a new provider who offered almost identical cover without all the extras that didn't relate to our situation. The only hiccup in the process to transfer was from our existing provider who suddenly decided they had our best interests at heart and couldn't bear to part with our money. Despite cancelling the pol...Read more

I was with Qantas Assure for points. I wasn't really getting much out of the coverage and when my misses was in hospital, I decided to do my own check to see what I was covered for. Turns out it wasn't much so I started looking online. I checked a few sites and ended up using Health Insurance Comparison to compare a few different ones.

I was tossing up between myOwn and AHM but myown had a similar price and came with a reward system where you get $5 vouchers each week if you do enough steps.

I spoke to Eli who was very easy going and seemed ...Read more

Having, recently, read some disquieting facts regarding previous Health Insurer, Bupa, (65 years, loyal), and the new increase in payments prompted me to "look around". Contacted Health Insurance Comparison and received, what I thought, genuine information favoring another Company, H.C.F. Had problems cancelling the original Company, with a loss of over $100 and when it came down to the eventual final figures with H.C.F. the difference was $4. Recently, my husband had a 2nd cataract operation and sadly we found were were very "much out-of-poc...Read more

I did a comparison online. As usual you can't actually get any results unless you put in details including phone number as they are marked mandatory fields. Within less than 10 minutes I had an aggressive sales girl on the phone. I explained to her I hadn't had a chance to have a good look as yet and that I hadn't ticked any options requesting immediate call back. She got a bit aggressive with me and said 'well don't put in your phone number next time'. I explained to her that the site marked the phone number as a mandatory field so I coul...Read more
