For those who don't qualify for the $200 NIB eftpos card, i found another deal which may be more appealing as you only need to sign up with Hospital only cover as a minimum.
This will be the fund i will transfer to after receiving my $200 eftpos card from NIB (Unless i find a better offer)
Things to note:
This deal is probably best for those who have PHI to avoid the Medicare Levy Surcharge. If your on a Private Insurance Cover for medical reasons, its probably not the best idea to be jumping from one fund to another
I have confirmed that all your waiting periods transfer from all your previous funds. Just make sure you either have the transfer certificates to provide to your new fund, or provide authorization to the new fund to request the transfer certificate. Now when you login to your new fund account, you will see the waiting periods from when you joined the new health fund. But this will be corrected manually when a claim is made based on all your previous transfer certificates.
Please refer to this deals comments for more info about transferring between health funds: $200 EFTPOS Card When You Join Any Combined Hospital and Extra's Package @ NIB
Enjoy
Good find. Don't forget that you can have Hospital and Extras Cover with two different insurers. With the recent bad press about NIB, perhaps move Hospital Cover to Peoplecare after you qualify for the $200 card and leave Extras with NIB. Until the next deal comes along….
