Cover for your needs

In New Zealand, we're lucky enough to have a public health system taking good care of us in case of emergency. But unfortunately, when it comes to non-urgent surgeries and procedures (like hip replacements and colonoscopies), public hospital waiting lists can be lengthy. 

Health insurance is designed to give you affordable access to fast and quality treatment options. But not all health insurance policies are created equal, and we can help you secure the most appropriate solution for your needs, goals, and budget.

Depending on the type of policy you choose, for example, health insurance can cover the cost of diagnostic testing, specialist consultations, and treatment in private healthcare facilities. Some policies include GP visits and prescriptions or even provide cover for unfunded medications, like life-extending cancer therapies that are not yet funded by Pharmac. Please get in touch if you'd like to talk about your needs.

FAQs

Have a few questions? We're here to help.

  • What do you charge for your advice services?

    We do not charge our clients for our services; instead we receive commission from the insurance provider once the agreed solution is confirmed. We receive this remuneration in the form of upfront and trail commission. To find out more about how we are remunerated, please view our Disclosure Statements on the About Page.

  • Do you charge for mortgage advice?

    Usually, we are paid a commission by the lender once your loan has settled, and do not charge fees. However, a fee may apply in certain circumstances and we encourage you to view our Disclosure Statement here for full information on our remuneration.

  • Why is mortgage advice valuable?

    There are many reasons - but most importantly, a mortgage adviser is expert at helping you carefully consider what your short and long term goals are and how to structure your loan accordingly. And of course, you have access to our relationships with lenders, knowledge and expertise, not to mention sharp negotiation skills when it comes time to talk interest rate.

  • What should I spend on insurance?

    Like insurance itself, there is no single answer to this question. It depends on your areas of risk and needs. Having says that though, it is really important that you don’t spend too much by taking out unnecessary cover or excessive levels of cover, or too little, which may leave you financially exposed should the unforeseen happen. Getting it just right for your needs and budget is a big part of what we do.

Myself and my partner had been dreaming of landscaping our backyard for years. We requested a loan top up through multiple mortgage brokers and were turned away. We found that none of these mortgage brokers actually took the time to listen to us and appreciate our situation. We were probably too much work for them for not enough reward. My last hope was Brad Whitford from Discovery Financial Services. I made contact with him late one evening and he replied within half an hour and asked me to give him a call. Brad really listened to us and asked a lot of questions about our situation to get a very good understanding of our financial position. Brad went over and beyond to secure our loan top up when other mortgage brokers told us it was impossible. He was outstanding with his communication throughout the entire process. Thank you Brad for helping make our dream come true. I will be recommending Brad to everyone I know. 5 stars!

Steven Matthew
We have been very impressed with the service received from Bradley. Our only regret is not engaging him sooner. He helped us get a deal over the line that we didn't think was possible in such a short timeframe. He kept us very well informed and provided great advice throughout the process. We look forward to working more with Bradley in the future and have already recommended him to others.
