AAMI Health Insurance Review

Not enough reviews Write a review

Pros

Its basic hospital policy cover is competitively priced and covers treatments including joint reconstructions, and tonsils, adenoids and grommets.
Its basic extras insurance policy comes with pharmaceutical prescriptions cover, unlike many other insurers.

Cons

Its gold hospital policy isn't the lowest-priced option – HBF, Medibank and HCF all generally offer slightly cheaper options.
AAMI/nib received proportionally more complaints than other big health funds including HBF, Australian Unity and Westfund.

AAMI Health Insurance: Our verdict

AAMI Health Insurance is underwritten by nib, one of Australia's largest health funds. It offers 5 hospital options and 4 extras cover policies.

AAMI is good if:

You want a basic hospital policy.
You're after a basic extras policy that covers pharmaceuticals.

AAMI is not great if:

You want a health insurance provider that underwrites its own policies.
You prefer not-for-profit health funds.
