Right now, you can earn double bonus Qantas Points when you join or switch your health insurance to Qantas Assure^. Instead of earning up to 50,000 Qantas Points, you could earn up to 100,000# - and use them to request an upgrade on your next flight. Offer ends 15 October 2016, so join Qantas Assure health insurance now and make today twice as rewarding.

Qantas Assure health insurance is issued by nib health funds limited ABN 83 000 124 381 (nib) a registered private health insurer, and is arranged by Qantas Airways Limited ABN 16 009 661 901 (Qantas), for which Qantas receives commission.

Qantas Frequent Flyer members who purchase a Qantas Assure health insurance policy from 1 September 2016 to 15 October 2016 will earn double bonus Qantas Points. 100,000 is the maximum number of bonus Qantas Points that can be earned upon purchase of Top Hospital and Top Extras Cover for Couples and Families. Each Qantas Assure health insurance policy has a specific maximum number of bonus Qantas Points that can be earned upon purchase. The base bonus Qantas Points will be awarded to the primary policyholder after the policy has been held for 60 continuous days and the remaining bonus Qantas Points will be awarded after 90 days. Not available to existing nib customers or Qantas Assure customers. Qantas reserves the right to withdraw or extend this offer at any time.

          How long did you have to wait to get credited the points?

        • Tony-Abbott on 02/09/2016 - 13:43

          @nightelves:
          Pretty sure the T&C's state about 90 days.

    • halfnhalf71 on 02/09/2016 - 13:40

      I quoted for mid to high cover and that only gives me 30,000…

  • looks on 02/09/2016 - 13:14

    Whats the value of QFF points at the moment?

    What a pompous name…. "Hi sir, which fund are you with?" "Qantas Assure"….. :/ "Qantas A Shoe??" "Assure" "I'm Sure"….

  • djz on 02/09/2016 - 13:41

    It looked good UNTIL I saw this:

    "Qantas Assure health insurance is issued by nib health funds limited "

    Don't walk, RUN RUN AWAY

    As it has been pointed out MANY times in previous deals that Nib has had, they are a very very dodgy health fund.

    • Some of the lowest rebates of all the health funds
    • The only health fund left that has a 'No Gap" policy rather than a "known gap" like all the other funds…..which means you will a)be required to pay the ENTIRE fee of your surgeon, anaesthetist, assistant etc instead of just the gap and then you'll only get a fraction back (not even the full MBS fee!). So that means your out of pocket gap fees will be a LOT HIGHER with Nib often in the hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
    • patients having their surgeries declined last minute as they refuse to cover them for what they deem "non surgical" conditions even though the surgeons insist that is the accepted treatment
    • unethical business practices. Heck they're even involved in cosmetic surgery tourism and all sorts of other shady practices.

    I personally would NEVER EVER support their business. Clearly qantas is getting a kickback from Nib while they screw you over, to be offering these incentives.

    Here is another article on them:

    "Medibank and NIB spruiking some of the worst 'junk' private health insurance policies"

      Don't go to YOUI either!

      Youi - we'll get you

    • djz on 02/09/2016 - 13:48
      +1

      And here is the Choice magazine findings on them.
      (Note GMHBA improved their policies last year and they now rebate at AHSA rates as a known gap fund so their listing their as one of the worst no longer applies…that title well and truly belongs to Nib!)

      https://www.choice.com.au/money/insurance/health/articles/ho…

      "Worst:
      These have more services for which you have to pay extra costs than average, across all funds in 2013/14:
      GMBHA
      NIB."

    • Yorkshire-Man on 02/09/2016 - 13:51

      Really ? I thought they were mostly the same for Top Cover policies ?

      • djz on 02/09/2016 - 13:58
        +2

        Absolutely not. The level of your cover dictates WHAT you are covered for not how much and how. So top cover might cover you for e.g. your hip replacement BUT when the surgeon, anaesthetist, assistant charge their fees, Nib billing policy is that the patient MUST pay the ENTIRE invoice and then Nib will only pay you back a portion of just the MBS fee. This is unique to Nib, no other insurer does this.

        so for a major operation like joint replacements, obstetrics, cardiac etc, your out of pocket fees with them can be in the thousands of dollars…..50%+ more than with other funds…

        Here is another example:

    • damion on 02/09/2016 - 15:24

      Before you jump to conclusions, have you actually verified the Assure and the NIB rebates and gaps are the same?
      From my conversation with Assure earlier this week, I was under the impression they were different.

  • FiveFingerDiscount on 02/09/2016 - 13:56

    What is the best health cover company to use then?

    • djz on 02/09/2016 - 14:03
      +2

      There isn't one that is "best" as your individual circumstances may vary but there are definitely some to steer clear of in that they are among the lowest paying (and therefore potentially the highest out of pocket fees):

      The ones to avoid

      • Nib
      • Latrobe Health
      • Budget direct
      • Frank Health insurance

      (Medibank is now rapidly declining and reaching those above)

      Check out some of the smaller funds that are part of the Australian Heatlh services alliance as some of the good funds:

    Thanks. I am with medibank and have noticed that they are declining so looking to move.

    • AbhiC on 02/09/2016 - 15:22

      same is the case with me. Will be moving very soon.

    Switch over, wait for points, switch elsewhere? Isn't that the ozbargain way?

    • Gooddeal21 on 06/09/2016 - 22:20

      that what I was thinking of doing, though I only want the basic cover without extra so trying to find out how much points that would be

  • arctan on 02/09/2016 - 15:53

    Any recommendation on which health fund I should move to? Looking at basic hospital and mid or high level extra cover.
    I am currently with FRANK and I think they are now quite expensive to go with so would like to find something with better value.

  • AliG on 02/09/2016 - 16:07

    Anyone know if qantas assure will be run as a separate entity? (or will you receive an NIB card and speak with NIB call centre)?
    Looking to switch from NIB to QA… could get messy

    • Sharp on 02/09/2016 - 16:54

      This deal is not available for NIB customers.

      • AliG on 02/09/2016 - 17:03

        Serious? Is it in the terms&c?

        • Sharp on 02/09/2016 - 21:47
          +1

          Yes. See above deal description.

  • j13 on 02/09/2016 - 18:06

    Note that the 100,000 points is only for TOP level cover which goes into the $1000's. For basic singles cover the bonus points offered to me were only 15,000.

    The value for money of the cover itself sucks too, my quote was $200 more than current provider and with less inclusions…

    • mooreshady on 03/09/2016 - 18:10

      Well is quite cheap considering credit cards need spending for $3000 for 50K points. Top hosp and extras is only $273 pm in total for 3 months…

      • [Deactivated] on 05/09/2016 - 21:31
        +1

        when you spend $3000 on a credit card you receive $3000 worth of goods or services in addition to the points.

    • Gooddeal21 on 06/09/2016 - 22:20

      can you see this before paying ? I tried but couldn't see how many points I would get.
      [edit : just saw that I won't get any points if I don't get any extra, if I take basic hospital and basic extra I would only get 10k points]
