We continue to have agreements with over 84% of all private hospitals and medical facilities nationwide, working to make sure hospitals deliver quality service at a fair and reasonable price for everyone involved. This allows us to continue providing health cover at a sustainable price for our members. 

Private health insurance gives our members the freedom to choose their healthcare provider and often means quicker access to treatment compared to the public hospital system.

St Vincent's initially notified us of their intention to terminate our current Hospital Purchaser-Provider Agreement (HPPA) due to unsuccessful negotiations over contract rate increases. However, nib has a long-standing relationship with St Vincent's, and we promptly engaged in further negotiations. We are pleased to announce that these discussions have been successful, and we will continue our agreement with St Vincent's.
