Singles
You are single and enjoying it. Maybe you have just left your parents and the security of their private health insurance. Getting your own insurance may be the last thing on your mind, but when you are living an active life you want to be covered for all eventualities.
So, stop for a minute and give it a thought - it could save you both money and time.
Couples
Now it is not just you anymore. When you enter coupledom you want the security of knowing you can both get immediate access to the level of care and treatment you require while being financially protected. You would insure your house and your car, so why not insure your greatest asset – yourself.
For peace of mind you should make sure you have the right insurance for both of you.
Families
The birth of a child brings your priorities into focus – suddenly you don’t come first anymore. When children come along they change everything and you want to do whatever you can to keep them protected. Whether you have one or a whole football team protecting them takes on a new importance.
So don’t wait - make sure your private health insurance covers all your loved ones.
Empty nesters
You are entering a new stage in your life – the children are leaving the nest and you enjoy more financial freedom. You start to think more about your health leading towards your retirement and want the peace of mind that private health insurance offers.
Make the right choice and choose the cover that offers all the extras you want.
You should also be aware that when your children become ineligible to remain on your policy they should take out private health insurance for themselves within 2 months in order to remain fully covered.
Retirees
As you get older, you should think about how changing circumstances may affect your life. You now have more time for things you really enjoy and you should not use the time worrying about whether your private health insurance covers you if anything should happen.
It is never too late to assess whether your current health insurance suits your needs.
