Understanding health insurance
ASB Private Health provides the peace of mind of knowing that you and your family can get prompt attention from your chosen medical provider.
Each person on the policy must be eligible for public health care in New Zealand as a New Zealand citizen, resident, holder of a two year or more work visa or hold a student visa.
How it works
The New Zealand public health system provides quality care for emergency and serious medical conditions. However, diagnosis and treatment for non-urgent conditions can be limited, with patients in the public system often waiting longer than private patients to get treatment.
ASB Private Health and ASB Private Health Plus have been designed to provide cover options for the significant costs of hospitalisation and surgery that many New Zealanders face during their lives.
