Hospital Insurance

Protection against the high costs of surgery

Most New Zealanders don’t realise how much surgical, hospital, or ongoing medical care can truly cost their family until it’s too late. 

Our public health system and ACC does a good job in providing access to treatment for serious illness and emergencies, but many health issues Kiwis face are either not accidental or are for non-urgent health conditions like hip replacements or cardiac procedures. This means there can often be delays in accessing treatment and the associated costs can be substantial. 

Hospital cover can provide protection against these high costs of surgery and help you deal with these unexpected medical issues faster.  

We have two options:

  • Hospital Select

    UniMed's Hospital Select is designed to keep premiums affordable and sustainable over time. Its main benefits are:

    • Hospital cover with unlimited cover for general surgery and oral surgery
    • Cover for many pre-existing conditions after you have been insured for three years**.
    • Cover for Specialist consultations, test/investigations associated with surgery or hospital admission and cancer treatment including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

    Learn more
  • Choice of hospital cover

    If  Hospital Select  is not the ideal plan for you or your family’s needs, a Monument financial adviser can look at alternative options for you from other medical insurers, as they are not limited to only providing you one insurer option.

    Also, any hospital cover arranged through them can be linked to your UniMed Primary Care or Primary Care Extra plan allowing you to claim back up to $500 on your surgical excess in the event of a hospital cover claim.
