Health Insurance Comparison A First For Australia
CANSTAR CANNEX has undertaken the most extensive research initiative ever into private health insurance in order to rate private health cover from five-star downwards. We looked at over 1,500 products across three different coverage sectors – hospital, extras and packages. The latter consists of hospital and extras rolled into one, as many of these products are not available as stand-alone products.
We drilled down further to differentiate the cover for six different profiles in each state and territory of Australia, making it easier for the consumer to compare apples with apples. Find out who our National and State Five Star health insurance funds are.
