I just called up to cancel my PHI because I worked out that it wasn't worth it for me.
The guy assigned to convince me not to cancel said that I should downgrade to just ambulance cover because the cover costs $30 and a ride in the ambo would cost anywhere from $1000 to $10,000.
Is this true? Is it not worth it for younger people because we're less likely to need an ambo?
I value the financially wise minds of Ozbargainers. Please lend me your insights.
EDIT: Ambulance cover is actually $55/year.
The OP is from NSW. Therefore, he should get it from a health fund / PHI.
