Default Ambulance cover NSW

Hi,

Does anyone have a link to where I can get ambulance cover for NSW.

All the info I am finding wraps it up inside a private healthcare package. Although we will probably arranged healthcare fairly soon, I would like to ensure we have ambulance cover sorted.

Thanks

You can purchase an 'ambulance only cover' insurance policy from most private health insurers. Normally between $35 and $50 a year. Make,sure you are covered for all ambulance calls/journeys though, not just 'emergency' x

HCF offer competitive Ambulance cover - It's $35 a year.

I actually found that I could make a $30/month saving by buying ambulance cover separately to my general health cover.

I was with HCF and after their premium increase, they wanted $89 pm for basic hospital cover (including ambulance)

I churned to GMHBA, which was $57 pm, but no Ambulance cover. So I took out separate Ambulance cover with HCF again at $35 for the year (or $3 pm), so My yearly cover approximates at $60 pm, rather than $90.
