Save $1,000 per family on health insurance

"Most families are paying too much for their health insurance,” actuary Peter Carroll has told a Today Tonight program on Channel 7. “Families paying more than $200 a month can save as much as $1000 every year by shopping around on the internet.” Ozecover is the only commercial website that compares all available health insurance companies and sorts out the ten cheapest health cover deals for singles and for families based on a few simple questions. It empowers consumers.

Peter, who is an actuary and a director of Ozecover, a new website, says, “If you are worried about health insurance rates going up this week, check out the Ozecover website. It costs nothing to look and will show you how to get good cover for the best private hospitals in Australia for as little as $2 a day for a single person or $4 a day for a family. If you are paying any more, ask your health fund why.”

“With airfares, you can go on the internet and get a no frills ticket that gets you safely and easily where you want to go or you can pay a lot more for luxuries you can easily do without,” says Peter. ”With health insurance it is the same. You can use Ozecover to track down simple no frills health cover that does the job and saves you a lot of money, or you can keep paying for expensive frills and extras you might think are not worth the price, especially when times are hard.”

“Ozecover has all 38 health insurance companies in its database and sorts out the ten cheapest deals for singles and families based on a few simple questions. It gives power to consumers to shop around easily and anonymously, whether buying for the first time or comparing the value in existing insurance when rates and benefits are changing.”
