Double trouble ahead for Aussies with health insurance.
Australians are about to experience a double whammy of health insurance premium increases. Prices already went up on 1 October 2020.
Now they’re due to go up again in the first half of 2021.
But it’s not too late to cut your premiums and retain your cover.
Switching ahead of April’s planned rate rise means you can still beat health insurers at their own game.
How Much More Am I Paying On My Health Insurance?
This April’s average price hike across the health funds will be 2.74%. But that doesn’t tell the whole story.
Combined with the rate rise from October 2020, people who haven’t switched funds could be paying, on average, a whopping 5.66% more*.
So if you’re worried about your premiums going up again it could pay to compare policies and switch to better value cover.
