There when you need it

We have asked "Is it worth it?" time and time again….is private health insurance really worth the ever-increasing premiums?

A recent Stuff article suggests that for the majority of New Zealanders, private health insurance is not a priority.  Less than 30 percent of us have health insurance, with the remaining 70 percent relying on an already stretched public health system.

If you are on the fence, trying to decide if this is a necessity in your life, consider this: in the past two weeks since we have been back at work, BRAVEday has already helped clients to get approval for payments of $17,751.90 in medical claims.

The claim amounts range from $1,000 to nearly $9,000 each and in terms of time, would have saved months of sitting on the public waiting list - worth the peace of mind, don't you think?
