Member testimonials

We are both over 60 and after getting a few quotes, we decided to purchase our travel insurance via the special offer with CoverMore through HealthCarePlus. I’m glad we did as their price was very good, and when we needed them, they were great.

GS from Porirua

HealthCarePlus Member

I have been a member for 34 years. I was especially pleased that I could remain a member post retirement for the same premium. This makes me feel valued for the service I gave to Tertiary education. One hundred percent professional, friendly service.

“We got Pet Insurance through HealthCarePlus. Just two weeks later, Freya had a minor injury, and we were so relieved to have coverage in place. Thankfully, she’s fine, but I’m sure we’ll be using it in the future! I highly recommend Pet Insurance for peace of mind.”

KS from Kapiti

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.
