You can cancel your subscription online at any time.

No.

Your subscription allows you to carry out multiple searches, so you can search for each person without any additional cost.

You can also run multiple searches for the same person to see if changing your search criteria changes the results. For example, you might like to explore the price differences between plans that cover a private room and those that don't.

We currently only show the prices for adults, but we will soon add the prices for children and young adults.

Your subscription is only for your own use and there are fair use limits in place.

If you currently have health insurance and move to a plan with the same level of cover, you should not have any waiting period.

If you currently have health insurance and move to a plan with a higher level of cover, you should not have any waiting period for new issues. However, your old level of cover is likely to apply to any pre-existing conditions for a period of time.

While the Health Insurance Authority's comparison tool is excellent for comparing the details of a small number of plans, it does not provide the same powerful search functionality as Simple Search.

We aim to help you narrow down the plans so that you can compare a small number in detail using the Health Insurance Authority's tool.
