Understanding health insurance

Health insurance is essential when you want to make sure you and your family can get fast attention from your chosen medical provider. This is particularly important with lifestyle altering illnesses - like sinus complications, cardiac conditions or hernia - where under the public health system you could be left waiting for treatment.

ASB offers two types of cover to enable you to get fast and effective treatment, when you need it.

Options to consider

ASB Private Health

Health insurance that includes cover for private surgical care and hospitalisation, cancer care and supporting diagnostic procedures, which provides different excess options.

ASB Private Health Plus

Extensive health insurance that also includes cover for specialists and tests and lifestyle benefits. It also has different excess options.
