(^) Pre-Existing Conditions Covered after 3 years 

As a bonus of joining the HealthCarePlus Hospital Select Plan, UniMed provides cover for many pre-existing conditions after you have been insured in the scheme for 3 years. As part of their offer they will provide details as to any conditions that they will provide cover for after 3 years and any serious medical condition that will be excluded for the life of the policy.

What is a pre-existing Condition?

  1.  A pre-existing condition is a health or medical condition that was in existence on or before the person’s Cover Start Date.
  2. At that time the person: 
  •  May have known about the condition; or
  •  May not have known about the condition, but did know of a health history or symptoms which could have indicated the possible existence of the condition to a medical practitioner. 

If any of these conditions are developed after joining the HCP Hospital plan they would be fully covered subject to the normal terms and conditions of the plan.

However, there are some pre-existing conditions that are permanently excluded for the life of the scheme; (Cardiovascular/vascular related conditions, Conditions that may result in the requirement for joint replacement surgery, musculoskeletal conditions including injuries, Cancer, Gynaecological disorders).

"It's Good to belong"

It's quick, easy and efficient - what a great team behind the scenes. Our family struggles with budgeting out of our pay packets, but with HealthCarePlus we don't hesitate in accessing health services when we need them as the claims process is so easy.

DB, Member since 2018 from Dunedin

I appreciate your efforts to be up-to-date with health trends and it seems that you endeavour to reach out to your clients, even if I just skim through at times! All positive, I feel trusted and fairly treated thank you.

MP, Member since 2016 from Christchurch

 I have an added sense of security knowing that there is some support available for medical costs at a reasonable premium. As a single person there may be times when I need a more expensive medical procedure that will affect me financially so Health Care insurance will be helpful if this occurs.

PS, Member since 2017 from Whakatane

 Really pleased I am able to have a cover that isn't too expensive while on one wage with two kids. When ringing, emailing and claiming I have always had fast, efficient and helpful communications with people.

C H, Upper Hutt, Member since 1998

Any claims I have made during the many years I have been a member, have been processed with efficiency and within a short time frame. My Health Care Representative has been excellent, and is always available and willing to explain and clarify any claim issues or concerns.

PB, Kerikeri, Member since 1993

I have been in the scheme since 1969 and followed it through all the various permutations since about 1986. It has served me well and enables me not to think twice about visiting the doctor if I should.

JR, Member since 1987, Auckland

The online process was easy to follow and the claim paid out quickly. I put a claim in generally twice a year. I use the online form and find it easy to use. Everything goes smoothly so I have not needed to make any further contact beyond the normal process.

SH, Member since 2017 from Hamilton

 Although I don't have a big policy, the everyday help with things like glasses is great. Ordinary doctors bills can become quite expensive if you or spouse have a run of poor health and getting some costs back os really helpful. The quick turn around for claims is appreciated too.
