Southern Cross Health Insurance Increase Breast Surgery Contribution

 

It is difficult to have breast reduction surgery performed in public system in New Zealand these days. 

Hence, a lot of women seek this surgery in private sector; however it is a very expensive surgery.

Majority of private medical providers in New Zealand  fully cover breast reduction surgery ( of course depending on the individual policy their clients hold with them).

So far, Southern Cross was the only insurance provider which was contributing a minimal $3,000-5,000 towards breast reduction surgery.

However, from the 22nd of October they are increasing benefit allowances. Southern Cross members on some of the most popular plans will benefit from an increase in cover up to $15,000 per lifetime for breast reduction surgery and an increase in breast symmetry cover to $10,000 per lifetime.

That is a great news for patients seeking breast reduction surgery as it is a life changing procedure and the most common one I perform and I absolutely love doing it😌.

I have already noticed an increased number of women booking for consultation with me to discuss breast reduction surgery.
