worst customer service
so unhappy talking to their customer service. seems he's not listening to what you have said and keep on asking after you gave all the information. I am so dissatisfied of the services of this company. never again that i will contact this company.
November 6th 2022 Update: worst insurance company
don't ever sign up with NIB insurance. They are just up for your money. They are rubbish. I had my mum applied for insurance when she wants to come to Aussie but when I canceled it, they didn't give back the amount I paid. They claimed it will be fo...Read more
r admin fees. Oh my gosh. And when I communicate with them, they always said that I'm not allowed to even if I signed a form that I have the authority to operate and inquire. This is the big mistake to apply for insurance with this insurance company.1 comment

Avoidance & Delay Experts
Booked a holiday through Luxury Escapes to Singapore for mid July. Travel Insurance taken care of through their preferred insurer NIB underwritten by QBE. Three days after booking I was diagnosed with possible kidney cancer. Mid October and I still cannot get a response to what I would have thought was a straight forward claim.
Have requested a face to face meeting with a company representative in Melbourne only to be informed that such an office does not exist. My communication has been via a call centre in the Philippines who informed me on F...Read more

Out of pocket
I am heading into hospital only to get call telling me that Nib only pays $220 and other funds pay $440 on the anaesthetic fee. Plus also play less on other product . Which u don't know till u have to uses it. Out pocket myself over $400 not counting $1500 for the doctor. And that not counting $500 excess which I had just paid for something that didn't fix my problem . I am silver plus No wonder people leaving health insurance.

I could not find a page for NIB Travel insurance so here is my review about them
Raised a claim for a cancelled flight, nib conveniently rejected the claim, I questioned the outcome, no one cared to even effing reply.That is the standard of customer service you can expect from these guys.
I understand an insurance denying your claim, but their policy clearly stated I can question their decision within 14 working days and I did the same. And despite my email, they chose to keep their mouth shut. But when it comes to pushing you to buy a product they will call you a million times because as I said, all they care about is getting your money!

Corneal Transplant
Do not go with NIB for Corneal Transplant they are the worst for out of pocket expenses. A little cheaper to join but you pay up at bill time. Check with other providers before choosing what sounds the cheaper option.

Just joined Not a great 1st impression
Sent in a request for a pre approval, heard absolutely nothing except automated text saying they had high volumes, i.e. understaffed. Not what you expect at $300 per month. Not going to bother giving them a chance. In fact received a customer survey a week after I submitted the claim asking how my claim experience was... What experience I am still waiting!!

Doesn't cover necessary medical expenses
Even though the insurance was cheap it wasnt good.
The claim process was difficult. I injured myself overseas and upon return required surgery and time off work. Absolutely no cover for that. I would not reccomend NIB.

Worst choice ever made by selecting Nib
I have claimed in June, now its September more than 4 months and still waiting for response and if i call them they just want 7-10 business days every time and i complained about it too but no one responded on that. Now they are saying its been assessed and they don't know anything about my claim. I would never recommend anyone.

Don’t waste your money on NIB travel insurance
Save your money don’t waste it on Nib travel insurance. The fine print is very fine and won’t benefit you in any form of travel delay.
18 hours delayed yet doesn’t meet requirements??

Wish they'd stop trying to upsell
I have been happy enough with the health insurance policy I have.
But lately I'm getting mail and phone calls trying to get me to sign up for life insurance.
I will never accept unsolicited offers like this, and if it happens again I'll be cancelling the existing policy too.

Fraudsters - Harassers - Potential identity thiefs
Earlier this year I set up a NIB policy to cover myself and my 2 daughters. 3 payments came out because someone there had fraudulently created 2 additional policies in my 3 year old and my 6 year olds name, using my credit card details.
It took 10+ phone calls and many transfers of clowns there passing the buck. Until eventually, I just called cancellations and "Posed as" as 3 policy holders in 3 different conversations and had all 3 policies cancelled.
See how ridiculous that sounds?
NOW - Since then, I receive No less than 3 phones calls per ...Read more

Great customer service
Nib customer service is good and ready to help you. I was charged extra fees for a dental treatment because I was misinformed by one of the representative so the next time I called the manager happily credited back the extra amount and adjusted that into my premium. As a result it restores my faith into the company and I’m thinking of going for another product with them soon.
Both me and my wife have nib cover and we are happy with them. I think it’s customers duty to be informed before going for medical treatments to be better informed.

Switched to a not for profit health care fund
I just switched to Westfund (not for profit) today after being with NIB for 5 years. I have no complaints with the service that I received from NIB, which worked well for me. However, I am disgusted with the opinions coming from NIB senior management at the moment, especially the ignorant comments on Americanising our more fair and equitable public health system. 1 year ago, NIB announced a net profit of $133.5 million for the 2018 financial year – an 11.1 per cent increase from the previous year. Their premiums have risen substantially on an annual basis for the past 5 years. They are not passing along their profits as savings to their customers. They definitely are not struggling with the current community rating system....

Terrible&Rubbish Claims Process!!!
I lodged a claim on 21/7 and received an email stating that " will be processed within 2 weeks". Until today, no response, no calls and no email from NIB! Ask the online advisor last Thursday, he/she said that will be processed, the latest by next Monday, and this morning (Wednesday) I asked again, another advisor said it takes another 2 weeks again!!!! Ridiculous! This had happened many many times, every time I submit the claims, either no response or decline without giving me an appropriate reason! NIB only knows how to take money from me BUT...Read more

Greedy Scammers!
I bought overseas visitor health insurance for my in-laws from nib. The policy ran from the start of May to the start of July, when my in-laws would return overseas. The payment method for the premium was monthly direct debit, which was taken at the start of June and July. After my in-laws left, I was surprised to find nib took another direct debit for premium at the start of August. When I rang nib about it, I got put to their overseas call centre where they told me the account holder needs to explicitly cancel the policy otherwise the direct ...Read more
debits would continue. What kind of greedy money-grabbing scammer at nib thought it clever to keep charging customers after the policy ended and they returned overseas, in the hope they forgot to check their bank statement? How much interest do you collect from all these over-payments nib? I was also told that since I was not the account holder I was not entitled to make inquiries and no further information would be given, such as the amount to be refunded. Well done nib. I shall be telling everyone I know to avoid your scamming schemes from now on. Have a nice day.2 comments

practice is a deliberate and dishonest practice akin to stealing. As I said, I shall be warning others about this shameful practice from nib. I'm sure it was some smart cookie in nib that thought this would be a clever thing to do. Maybe some pensioners will forget to check their bank statements and we can collect some free interest? To that guy, I hope you got a good promotion because your company's reputation just took a hit. Have a nice day.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
