About this episode
This episode is a follow-up to my earlier deep dive into New Zealand’s medical insurance shake-up — and a lot has changed since then. In this update, I break down how each major insurer has responded differently to rising claims costs, including Southern Cross, AIA and nib, and what these changes mean for your premiums, benefits and future options.
I also outline practical solutions to consider depending on which insurer you’re currently with, so you can make informed decisions rather than reacting to headlines. As always, this is general information only, but essential context for anyone reviewing their medical cover in 2025.
