Great service and easy to use insurance – Pretty happy with HCI. Easy to use app and always been easy to get through to them over the phone. Great service and they go out of their way to help you. Show details

If they can't be bothered getting you to Join.......??? – I wanted to join HCI after getting on online quote. I called three times - 18/8 to 'Louise', 23/8 to 'Carly' & 28/8 to a supervisor called 'Lorraine' All promised to follow up asap and confirm the quote so I could join. I can only assume that as I have been living overseas for 9 years and it wasn't a straightforward query - they have put it in the… Read more

TOO HARD BASKET! Geez, companies usually provide their best service in getting you onboard, I can only assume they DON'T WANT my business????

By far the best – How refreshing to deal with a corporation that is so pleasant, efficient and helpful. Last claim settled in 24 hours. Cheapest? Don't know and I don't care. You can talk to a human and whoever answers the phone deals with the question. 3 years and while they stay the same I will never leave. Show details

Have had nothing but problems with this health insurance company – Have been with this company for coming up 12 months now and will not be back when this premium expires. Three times now have gone to claim for services rendered only to find that my card was not accepted. You call this provider and they want you to do it through their app. What app? It is inconvenient. It is unhelpful. It does not pay out as much… Read more

as other funds. They are a joke. Will go back to our previous fund. They are far more professional and helpful as well pay out more. Wake up HCILT. There phones are never switched on and their claims are the slowest when it comes to payouts. This Health Fund needs to be reported to the complaints Ombudsman and de Registered. We as consumers pay enough to these greedy health funds. They pay out bugger all. Their service is pathetic. We will definitely be moving to another provider and flicking this fund. Not recommended from our point of view.

We are paying for so little during the pandemic, need you to step-up and be fair for people who can't use the cover – We are from Victoria and we being a loyal customer for ages, due to the pandemic we keep on paying the entire fee + they get the rebate from gov, but the ability of usage of the cover is so little, we only used extras pretty much eye and dental care but they both are closed due to COVID restrictions. We raised this issue with them and asked for… Read more

fair mediation but what they told us was we can still use other benefits such as ambulance :). So far we could not use the cover at all though we pay like a hundred and thirty dollars after the rebate. Our last claim was in Dec 2019.

I expect them to rise up for the occasion and be fair to their loyal customer than just making an unfair profit out of the situation.

Good old fashioned personal service using current technology – Very professional, efficient and true value for money. Having enjoyed their services for a couple of years, will confidently recommend HEALTH CARE INSURANCE. Hardly any waiting when contacting them via phone, courteous service by service providers. You won't be disappointed.  Show details

HCI, can't fault them – After decades of paying top dollar for confusing Health Insurance and often being shocked by the often lower than expected refunds, well I just lost it one day and thought "enough, I want a better deal!" I did my homework. Discovered the ethics of Not For Profit alternatives and after much research decided on HCI. I've been with HCI for 3,… Read more

close to 4 years now. Am so impressed with what they cover, HCI has never let me down from dental to preventative medicine procedures. So far I've had no serious illness where they have had to stand front and centre but I have every confidence if that should ever happen they'd deliver as good, if not better than all the greedy, profit making health insurance piranha companies. And they are so affordable for a self funded retiree.

HCI - They are great – We have been with HCI for nearly 30 years and have had claims for hospital on a few occasions as well as extras on a regular basis. They have always paid promptly and without question and the customer service is great. I recently priced other funds only to find they cannot even provide a lesser cover for the amount we pay to HCI so we have no complaints at all.  Show details

HCI is there for its members, not the corporation – We were insured with Gov.Employees Health Fund, which then became Australian Heath Management, for more than 30 years. These funds were member owned not for profit with their own in house dental services & run for the benefit of the members. AHM was bought out by Medibank in 2009 and from that time onwards the in house dental practices were sold… Read more

off and rates for Hospital & Extras cover increased substantially every year while the Extras benefits have been eroded away. However, we must also say that we recently made a very large Hospital claim and AHM + Medicare paid everything except the gap fee for the surgeons & anaesthetist.

So finally, we made the effort to do the research to find a better value for money health fund. The website www.privatehealth.gov.au provided a lot of good information allowing us to compare Hospital & Extras insurance offerings.

We have now gone with Health Care Insurance which is a not for profit fund set up for the benefit of members. We have selected the Premier Hospital +Premier Extras cover, which is $70/ month cheaper than AHM Top Hospital & Family Extras, while providing equivalent Hospital cover with substantially superior cover and refunds for Extras.

We have submitted four claims so far & are very pleased with the service and the refunded amounts paid for each claim.

Amazing customer service! – Being a non profit I was surprised the service was so amazing, and friendly, they really go out of their way to help answer all my questions. Being a non profit I also know their will be no surprises come crunch time. been with Health Care Insurance for two years and I don't plan on going anywhere else.  Show details

Low cost, good benefits, good service – All our claims so far have all been HICAPS paid except for an ambo membership reimbursement. The membership reimbursement was filed through their app - just had to take a picture via the app and off it went. All was with no worries and paid exactly as expected. The reimbursement only took hours! While starting with HCI I contacted them numerous… Read more

times about various things. They seem to have a small staff that is very personable and personal. The premiums are fairly sharp although some of their benefits are on the lower side, but those we use and need are on the high side, so HCI works very well for us. Very happy we moved on to HCI.

A Non Profit Healthcare Provider That Puts People Before profit! – Health Care Insurance being a non profit healthcare provider is the way to go! They're very transparent when it comes to costs so there won't be any nasty surprises when it counts the most. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and my experience after getting a knee operation has been extremely positive from start to finish!  Show details

HCI Health Care Insurance is the best value for money! – I decided on HCI Health Care Insurance after browsing through the private health insurance ombudsman website. I found I could compare all the health funds industry percentage statistics such as Hospital Related Charges Covered, medical services with no gap, Member Retention, etc. I am very happy with HCI's customer service so far and would… Read more

highly recommend them to anyone.
