Not sure if this deal belongs here so mod please remove if it's not.
I just got the shock of finding our health insurance from April 1st my Medibank Private is going to be $4200 a year. This is crazy as we are only ever using the glasses and the dental. So did some online searching and find HBF has the 6 weeks free offer if you maintain your insurance with them for 6 months or more.
So using our policy which is $4200 per year with Medibank Private, the quote from HBF (Like for Like) is actually $320 lower, this not including the 6 weeks free cover. So, in the end, I am saving myself $800+ by swapping from Medibank to HBF.
A few things to note:
This is a like for like policy change if you go up a level or goes down a level the prices will be different. Because health insurance change is not for everyone, you need to ask all the questions possible before making the change. Also, I just found out today that you need to make sure your Access from your old policy is to be the same as the new policy if you want to change or there are waiting periods apply now to the access.
So ask as many questions as you can before making the change.
To us the 6 weeks free cover means about $450 in savings.
