Private health insurance reforms made simple.
On 1 April 2019, the government started to introduce reforms across all private health insurance providers to make it easier to choose and compare hospital products. The reforms also impacted some extras services.
At ahm, we’re big fans of anything that makes health insurance simple. That’s why we welcome these changes and will be rolling them out as smoothly as possible for all new and existing ahm members.
