The New Order: This Is How To Save on Private Health Cover in 2019

For the majority of Australians, health insurance is an essential purchase. But in 2019 it’s one that is becoming increasingly unaffordable. Year on year, as prices increase, the new order of value-for-money health insurers is decided, and loyal customers get left behind.

This year, private health funds raised their premiums by an average 3.25% in April 2019, across all health funds in Australia. But there’s one thing that your health fund might not want you to know. Not all funds will have passed these higher costs on to their customers. In April, we saw one fund’s average premium rose by just 1.64%, while other health funds hiked premiums by as much as 5.91%*. At the same time, in spite of premium increases, some funds will simply remain cheaper than others for comparable covers.

The constant reordering of value-for-money health funds has created an industry that only rewards active shoppers. While prices continue to rise for loyal customers stuck on outdated policies, funds regularly offer new and better policies to bring in new customers. It’s a system that relies on loyal customers believing that it’s too hard to switch.
