HELPFUL TIPS AND TRAPS TO AVOID WITH INSURANCES

Income Protection (Living Assurance)

Insurance Companies offer all kinds of confusing extras attached to their policies. Avoid unnecessary expense and consider these points:

Waiting (Qualifying) Period. How long can you wait before receiving benefits (wait periods go from 30 days to 12 months). Lower premiums can be achieved by accepting a longer waiting period.
Definitions and Coverage. Look for exclusions. In New Zealand we also have ACC, which does not cover you for sickness. Statistically you have a 3:1 chance of being off work for a period due to sickness rather than accident. Not all policies are the same and we only provide policies that cover you when you cannot perform your current regular work, so you are not forced to do lower-paid unskilled work.
Shop around and compare quotes. Effectively we do this for you because we have access to many insurance companies.

Trauma (Critical Illness) Insurance

Duplicate Coverage. If you already have health insurance, income insurance and life insurance, consider how much you really need, e.g. If you had a heart attack and had all the other insurances do you need this as well.
Review Conditions. What illnesses are covered? Claims experience suggests the cause of claims to be about two-thirds from cancer and one-quarter from stroke, heart attack or coronary bypass.
Be careful of additional benefits. These may be just another way the insurance companies can screw extra out of you.
Shop Around. That is just what we do for you.

Health Insurance

Main goal here is to help you pay for a major medical problem. Forget covering ordinary doctors visits. These type of policies end up costing you way too much long term. Check:

Are your children insured?
Is specialist insurance cover included? Do you need it?
A higher excess will save you dollars.
Does your work place have a group plan? This will be cheaper.
