Our public health system can theoretically take care of all needs, but you may have little or no control over the timing and quality of the care you receive. In addition, there are the costs not fully covered by the public health system, such as prescriptions and visits to your doctor. More and more New Zealanders are taking charge of their future health care through health insurance schemes tailored to their own needs.
Health insurance takes away the uncertainty.
If the need arises you can choose the doctor, the treatment facilities and the timing that suits you - and you won't have to worry about the financial pressures. Through EBS Health Care, members of the education unions have exclusive access to low-cost benefits. Because EBS Health Care is a non-profit organisation, all funds work for subscribers through lower charges and extra services. This means we can offer very competitive costs . Convenient Joining , arrangements for paying and making claims couldn't be simpler.
