nib has announced the addition of complementary travel insurance to its adviser health cover products.
The refreshed cover is available to all its current and new Ultimate Health Max, Ultimate Health and Easy Health customers. It features an increase in surgical and medical benefit limits and an expansion of other benefit entitlements across the adviser health cover range.
“We regularly review our product range to ensure we provide value for money health cover that meets our customers’ needs,” nib chief executive officer Rob Hennin said. “These changes do just that, offering customers real value that will provide them with peace of mind that they are covered whether at home or travelling overseas.”
Starting April 21, nib said complementary, multi-trip international travel insurance will be available to its new customers, who are insured on either an Ultimate Health Max or Ultimate Health policy.
The insurance is valid for international travel of up to 38 days per trip. It covers travel-related events such as emergency medical expenses overseas, emergency medical evacuation, stolen luggage and trip cancellation.
“We believe the inclusion of complementary travel insurance with the purchase of health cover provides advisers with a unique, holistic solution for their clients,” Hennin noted. “The enhanced offering is a point of difference that provides additional value that will be attractive to clients as it creates another reason for the whole family to have health cover.”
Current nib customers will be contacted to inform them of the new benefits over the coming weeks. nib will also guide advisers through the changes, the insurer added.
