» 6 reasons health premiums increase.

Each April, health insurance funds review and increase their premiums.

Their assessment covers a variety of elements to decide on premium increases.

  1. The community rating or claiming activity for a product,
  2. The State consumers reside in; and
  3. The type of product that is under review.

 

How do these increase your premiums?

  1. Pressure – demand for certain services increase and access becomes more difficult.
  2. Delivery – cost to offer the services increase.
  3. Ageing – We are all living longer and Australia’s population is ageing.
  4. Disease – chronic illness is on the rise.
  5. Innovation – new technology and treatments improve quality of care for patients but usually cost more.
  6. Government Rebates – the benefits supplied by the Australian government are decreasing every year.
