With changes coming into effect from April 1, it makes sense to stay on top of your health insurance. Health Insurance Comparison is helping Australians compare their cover in minutes.
“These changes present a good opportunity for policyholders to reassess what they need to be covered for,” explained Jonathan Leane, founder of Health Insurance Comparison.
“There is the potential that customers could actually save more on their policies if they compare before April 1. Many Australians could still be paying for unnecessary services, or have an important service not included under their old cover.
“At Health Insurance Comparison, we see the proposed changes as a positive opportunity to better understand the system and reduce the strain on your wallet. That’s why we’re offering free comparison to all Australian policyholders before April 1. It’s a really great time to compare, because both policies are changing and rates are increasing.”
There has never been a better time to evaluate your cover.
