Dispute Resolution and Complaints
We strive to provide the highest levels of service and advice for our customers. But we also understand that occasionally you may not be 100% happy with us, our service, or a product we’ve supplied – if so please let us know asap.
You can do this in several ways:
- Call us on 1300 631 373 and ask to speak to a call supervisor or manager
- Email us at enquiry@compareyourhealth.com.au attention Customer Care Team.
If we can’t resolve your issue immediately, a senior manager will respond to you at the latest by the next business day from receipt of your enquiry.
If we are still unable to resolve the matter within 3 days of this, it will be escalated for the attention of the CEO or deputy CEO who will personally investigate the matter.
Who is PHIO?
From time to time disputes arise between the consumers, the healthcare providers and the health insurers. These are generally about some part of the service that has been provided to the consumer, and may relate to things such as:
- The level of cover
- Waiting periods,
- Benefit paid
- Transfer process
The Private Health Insurance Ombudsman (PHIO) ensures the welfare and rights of individuals enrolled in Private Health Insurance by:
- Receiving and addressing complaints related to health insurance issues
- Offering guidance and information
- Facilitating the resolution of contractual disagreements between health insurers and healthcare providers to mitigate any adverse effects on consumers.
We may suggest that you contact your health fund or the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman’s office (PHIO):
