While the public health system in NZ caters for most needs, sometimes it can be slow to respond to non-urgent matters and increasingly avoids covering such things as varicose veins. Many hospital specialists offer their services privately but only a few specialists practice solely in the private sector. Nonetheless, private healthcare is fairly advanced in NZ and you can get a lot done.
Some people in NZ have medical insurance offered as part of their salary. Others take out cheaper policies that cover, say, surgical operations only, leaving you to pay for GP visits, medications, physio visits, and so on. There ar emany possibilities, all at different costs. It might pay to contact an insurance broker for a more detailed comparison of whats available.
