Save even more on your heath insurance this April with these health insurance deals

Richard Laycock 11 March 2016 NEWS

Want to lock your health insurance premiums in before the 1 April price hike? Here are some promotions running to help sweeten the deal.

March 31 Health

Who doesn't want a better deal on their health insurance? I'm just going to assume that nobody said yes and move on.

Each year, health funds raise their rates, and those changes happen on 1 April 2016. Signing up before that date means you'll get cheaper premiums, and you can save even more with bonus deals.

Saving a little extra cash, be it in the form of a gift card or not having to pay your premiums for a month, can be the deciding factor for many people when it comes to choosing a health fund. But finding what each fund is offering can be tiresome, which is why we've done the legwork for you. Below is a table of the provides in our panel (plus any other deals we could find) being offered to new members who join before the 1 April cutoff.
