Mine's going up by $30/month after the rebate. We have medium cover - hospital and extras but none of the FUN extras, just the usual ones. We will be paying about $210/month with this increase. DH and I just don't want to muck around with changing things until after the baby comes because I am worried something will happen and they won't cover us or I won't be covered for obstetrics because of the change and waiting periods.
I work for my health insurance company and i have to say if you live in VIC your health insurance is going up more than any other state not happy Jan, even with 50% off my cover, mine is still going up nearly $20 a month.
I just want to commend you all for not getting angry with your health funds on here. I have been copping abuse from our members every day since friday on every single call i take and at 28 weeks preg it is taking it's toll.. A man today was so abusive I cried.
Mrs Hendo- its awful to have to cop crap in your job, not like you put up the prices!
My letter specifically mentioned in it that ALL funds were increasing, I guess so not to get everyone calling up.
I more blame the government for crappy health system that force us into it.
The biggest thing that bugs me with PHI is the fact you have to go to their participating hospitals, what if those hospitals don't cater for your needs, as happened to my sister, she has top cover hospital yet couldnt get help cause the hospital she needed wouldnt accept her health fund!
We're with HCF, top cover with extra kids accident insurance for the boys with soccer etc.
After the rebate it's going up by $28 from $250 to $278.
Ours is family cover but it's the same whether you have one or more children under the policy.
