MORE HEALTH SUPPORT

Protect against the high costs of surgery and deal with unexpected medical issues faster

Most New Zealanders don’t realise how much surgical, hospital, or ongoing medical care can truly cost their family until it’s too late. 

Our public health system and ACC does a good job in providing access to treatment for serious illness and emergencies, but many health issues Kiwis face are either not accidental or are for non-urgent health conditions like hip replacements or cardiac procedures. This means there can often be delays in accessing treatment and the associated costs can be substantial. 

A properly designed hospital cover plan can protect you against the high costs of elective surgery and help you deal with unexpected medical issues faster - meaning earlier intervention, less time off work, less wait time for surgery.

Hospital Select

UniMed's Hospital Select Plan is designed to keep premiums affordable and sustainable over time, protecting your family against the high costs of surgery and helping you deal with unexpected medical issues faster. Earlier intervention means less time off work or wait times for surgery.

  • Hospital cover with unlimited cover(^) for general surgery and oral surgery
  • Cover for many pre-existing conditions after you have been insured for three years(^^).
  • Cover for Specialist consultations, test/investigations associated with surgery or hospital admission and cancer treatment including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
