NIB NZ MEDICAL INSURANCE
NIB NZ MEDICAL INSURANCE
My monthly installments went up from $ NZ $ 258, to over NZ $ 400. I couldn't believe it. I decided to phone them, waited for about 45 minutes. I wanted to discuss the big increase. I was told because of my age, and pre-existing conditions. Government contributions have decreased. They mentioned a lot of other reasons. Next I rang my broker but, they couldn't help either. I couldn't migrate to another scheme, that has a higher access. I find it appalling that they can it increase by that much. As members we can't do anything. Please consider carefully if you are going with NIB, especially if you're approaching middle age. You might get stung with big monthly installments. I have never heard back from them. In the meantime we are sitting ducks, and have no say in the matter. One if worst medical insurance companies I can think of.
