Australian private health insurers have been criticised for using a loophole to raise the prices of Gold Cover policies.

Aussies parents paying large Gaps for obstetric care

Australian women who choose to have their baby delivered by an obstetrician at a private hospital are paying alarmingly high out-of-pocket fees, it’s been revealed.

Health insurers respond to Ozempic’s popularity

One private health insurer has reduced its cover for Ozempic amid a surge of popularity for the weight-loss drug. Last month, HBF, the largest health insurer in Western Australia, announced it was reducing rebates for Ozempic, saying the rise in claims had become unsustainable. So far, no other insurers have changed their position on the...
