Qantas Health Insurance - what are the thoughts of those that have it?

Another point to consider if you are in a position, is paying a year in front at old rates @Pushka

Yes that's always a good thing to do but not this year. I'd still be better off changing funds even in that scenario. It's not the rise so much but the base price is in excess of other funds. I'm glad they sent the email re price hikes, it made me do some searching and to my benefit.

I would be wary of comparing what you see on line which might be the old price with your soon to be increased premium.

On BUPA. Theres a toggle to select for April 1st. And in store the consultant said he'd use April 1 and not current.

I switched from Bupa to Qantas a couple of years ago.
Another reduction in coverage on orthodontics and I cracked it. So I shopped around. Qantas worked out better. Maybe it is time to do another shop around!

I did exactly the same. In April 2018 when they started messing with joint replacements. I’ve been with Qantas since.

Many of the quotes I was looking at today included the ‘from 1 April’ price as well.
