Hi. It's the time of the year again to renew Private Health Insurance. Which one are you using and which do you think is the best value private health insurance. I'm from WA but all inputs appreciated.
Which Private Health Insurance You Use?

tax and levy
I recently changed from BUPA to HCF. Much cheaper, particularly with an RAA(SA) discount.
Time to look around again. Who's giving out free weeks? Got 6 weeks free from BUPA last year.
hif is giving 6 weeks
none. public is fine
I have been with HCF for nearly five years now. Never have found anything to complain about. Service is good, claims process is straight forward and most of their people are helpful over the phone.
I do a price/feature compare twice a year and though it isn't the cheapest, I have always found HCF to give the best balance of price vs features.
I think it is one of the bigger providers (at least in NSW) and deserves to be listed separately in your poll.
I am with Australian Unity. They are fantastic. Lots of extras, and can claim online, over the phone or via Hicaps on the spot. They are not the cheapest but the benefits you get back negate the extra cost. Excellent customer service too
Is your main intention to reduce Medicare levy or get the benefit of private insurance?
