Seeing a GP

A GP is usually the first point of contact for non-emergency illness. Check your product benefits and provider charges before the appointment.

Specialists and tests

Eligible specialist consultations, pathology and radiology can be covered according to the rules of the particular product. A referral may be required for specialist treatment.

Possible out-of-pocket costs

A provider can charge more than the benefit payable by nib. Any difference is generally your responsibility, so ask about fees when booking.

Important: Benefits vary by product and can change. Check the current NIB product information and your policy before treatment or purchase.
