Switch to HBF

We can help you transfer your cover today.

Every health insurer is different. As a not-for-profit member based fund, we strive to provide our members with access to the best personal health service possible.

According to the 2011 State of the Health Funds report, our hospital cover is one of the best available - which is good news for all HBF members.

For a limited time, we will recognise your full length of membership with your current health fund. If you're switching to HBF from another Australian health insurer and you’ve already used some or all of your annual Essentials benefits with your former fund, we’ll need to adjust the balance of your Essentials benefits to reflect this.

It’s a no fuss process as we’ll contact them to arrange the transfer, making the switch as easy for you as possible.
