Insurance in NZ?
When people say nothing is more important than your health, they’re right. Without your health, your lifestyle, your earning ability and your entire life can be impacted
Get Faster Access to Healthcare for You & Your Family
New Zealanders are eligible to publicly funded URGENT health care at public hospitals throughout NZ if the following is happening
- You’re experiencing a medical event that requires immediate attention
- You’ve had an accident and are injured
In both of these instances, you will go to an A&E (Accident and Emergency) for immediate assessment and treatment
Priority is based on the urgency of the situation
However, for NON URGENT conditions or to get a diagnosis, you will have to wait to get a hospital or clinic appointment
The length of time you will wait depends on what needs to happen.
Firstly you will have to wait for an appointment so that you can be assessed or diagnosed.
Appointment times will vary from region to region, and will depend on what specialist area of medical assessment you are needing, but…
- Imagine waiting months for an appointment to find out if you have cancer or not, would that not be very stressful for you and your family ?
- What if you were in a whole lot of pain because your hip or knee needs replacing, or maybe you need surgery because of intense back or shoulder pain
- What if you had blocked arteries, and needed stents, all of that time you spend waiting for an appointment you’d be worried about having a fatal heart attack
The Agony of Uncertainty

Living in Constant Pain
•What if you were in a whole lot of pain because your hip or knee needs replacing, or maybe you need surgery because of intense back or shoulder pain
Racing Against Time
•What if you had blocked arteries, and needed stents, all of that time you spend waiting for an appointment you’d be worried about having a fatal heart attack
The Hidden Cost of Waiting: Why Private Medical Cover Is No Longer a Luxury, But a Necessity
In all situations with the NZ public health system you have no control over how long it will take to get seen
Once you’ve been diagnosed, do you think you will be scheduled for immediate surgery ?
Unfortunately the answer to that is NO !
You will have to wait again, this time for the treatment or surgery that you need to get better so you can return to normal life
All of these delays are because of many years of limited funding in the public health sector and a growing New Zealand population
Can we expect high end, top quality, fast healthcare responses in this country ?
Once again, the answer is NO !
There is simply not enough funding available in New Zealand
There is an alternative … it’s New Zealands PRIVATE MEDICAL SYSTEM
This is where diagnosis and treatment are not publicly funded
Everyone can get go to a Private Hospital, however the costs are out of reach for most New Zealanders
There is another way to get Private Healthcare, diagnosis, treatment and surgery
Its called PRIVATE MEDICAL COVER, or HEALTH INSURANCE

"After years hearing about the overloaded NZ public health system, I finally decided to invest in private medical insurance. Ease Insurance Brokers made the entire process simple and stress-free."
Now I can sleep at night knowing if I need treatment or surgery I can get it quickly and easily and at a time that suits me.
Michael Thompson
Ease Insurance arranged my Private Medical Insurance when I was healthy. Then Suddenly I was referred to a specialist who told me I needed surgery but the wait in the public system would be months. I was able to tell him I had Private Medical Insurance. Everything was covered. I had surgery booked within a week and the operation was done 2 weeks later. That’s the kind of support everyone deserves."
