WHY INSURE YOUR HEALTH?

Peace of mind

The New Zealand public health system provides quality emergency care and treatment for serious medical conditions. However, rising health care costs continue to put pressure on the public system’s ability to both diagnose and treat non-urgent medical conditions, including those with a significant impact on lifestyle such as sinus complications, cardiac conditions, and hernia repair.

In some cases, access to treatment is limited and public patients must qualify for treatment before joining the queue. Sovereign Private Health enables you to take control of your health so that medical conditions can be treated promptly, at a convenient time and location, and with your choice of medical provider.

ACC is not a substitute for private health insurance

ACC is an accident insurance scheme that all New Zealanders have access to. The role of ACC is to provide treatment and rehabilitation services for anyone who suffers an injury as a result of an accident. It does not cover you for anything that ACC does not deem to be an accident. If your claim is declined by ACC, Sovereign Private Health is there. We will promptly pay your eligible treatment costs and will then seek a review of your case with ACC.
