Default Health insurance

I am looking at getting health insurance. I need some dental work done and so does dh and I go to the chiro every 6 weeks or so too.

Has anyone seen a site anywhere that I can put in my details and it brings up all the covers that would be good for me? Or do I have to go to every different healthfund site and put in my details.

I have tried googling but haven't come up with much yet. I don't really know many of the funds out there just the few big ones that you see advertised really.

Thanks

Generally, there's also a waiting time before you can claim for certain things too, some insurance companies have special deals on at the moment where they waive the waiting time for some things.

Thanks I saw an add for them last night, they look pretty good. I know we will still have to wait for major dental but if I get it now I will be ready for later on

I select was great too. Thanks

We're with Medibank & I tried iSelect a couple of weeks ago to see if anyone else was cheaper & it came out dearer So we've stuck with Medibank.

I'm with Australian Health Management and have always found them to be good. If I didn't have them i'd go with Manchester Unity as my next preference.

I keep meaning to get some sort of basic private cover mainly because of the tax levy, which i just can't seem to understand with my mushy pregnant brain. Can any one here explain it? Please!

I can't explain it too you as it makes no sense to me either at the moment . I am having a hard enough time trying to pick the right one lol.

I think I am only going to get the extra's at the moment and looking into hospital ect later on.
