When is private health insurance a good choice?
Private health insurance is especially suitable if you have a higher income above the threshold, are in good health without limiting conditions, and have maintained continuous comprehensive health coverage for the past 12 months. If you lack recent coverage, medical and dental checkups may be required.
Private health insurance is also ideal if you value greater control, flexibility, and service. It typically offers more personalized coverage options, user-friendly digital tools, and faster access to specialists compared to public insurance.
