Our customers trust us
ahm is owned by Medibank, Australia's biggest health insurer. It's an uncomplicated, digital-first service that consistently offers some of the cheapest health insurance policies in Australia.
ahm is good if:
ahm is not great if:
ahm is one of the cheapest insurers on the market for basic and mid-level hospital options. These cover treatments such as ear, nose and throat, joint reconstructions, chemotherapy and diabetes management. If you're older and have some health issues, such as cataracts or need a joint replacement, there are cheaper top-tier gold policies though. The same is true if you're looking for pregnancy cover (ahm's owners, Medibank offer a much more comprehensive option). As for its extras cover, its no waiting period option has literally saved me hundreds of dollars several times on dental, physio and optical.
