新西兰的癌症健康保险选择

对于面临癌症的新西兰人来说，治疗的经济负担可能非常高，尤其是如果你需要 Pharmac 未公开资助的药物。虽然标准健康保险通常覆盖部分治疗，但许多保单并不自动包括昂贵的非 Pharmac 癌症药物费用，这些费用每年可能高达 $100,000 或以上。幸运的是，新西兰有几家大型保险公司提供专门的癌症保险和附加险以帮助弥补这些资金缺口。以下是对您的选项及需要考虑事项的详细介绍。

为何癌症保险很重要

癌症治疗已迅速进步，虽然一些突破性药物由政府资助，许多延长生命或创新药物仍未列在 Pharmac 的清单。这意味着患者常常需要自费，除非他们拥有专门覆盖这些治疗的保险。拥有合适的保险，可能是在获得最新治疗方法与在困难时段承受财务压力之间的区别。

Southern Cross

基础覆盖： 所有主要的 Southern Cross 计划（Wellbeing One、Wellbeing Two、Ultracare）包括无限额的外科和放射科治疗福利，化疗额度最高为每年 60,000 美元。这包括非 Pharmac 资助的化疗药物每年 10,000 美元的覆盖。
附加选项：Cancer Cover Plus – 将你年度化疗覆盖提升至 $100,000 或 $300,000。若你需要 Pharmac 未资助的新药或昂贵药物，这将有所帮助。
附加选项：Cancer Assist – 在诊断覆盖的癌症时提供一次性、免税的总额（可从 $20k 选择到 $300k）。你可以按需要使用这笔赔付，用于生活开支、治疗或其他需求。

NIB

标准与高级计划： 两者的癌症手术覆盖最高至每次理赔年度 $300,000，治疗最高至 $200,000。用于家庭使用的 Pharmac 资助癌症药物年度上限为 $10,000。高级计划还覆盖非 Pharmac 化疗药物，最高每年 $20,000。
Non-PHARMAC Plus Add-on: 提供额外的非 Pharmac 资助药物覆盖，不仅用于癌症，也适用于广泛的其他病症。你可以选择每年 $50,000 至 $300,000 的覆盖，为获取最新治疗提供额外的安心保障。

AIA

Private Health: 这份综合性保单为外科和放射治疗的癌症治疗提供无限额覆盖外，加上每年最高 $500,000 的化疗覆盖，覆盖 Pharmac 与非 Pharmac 药物。
Cancer Care: AIA 也提供一个癌症专用计划，效仿其完整保单的癌症福利，但仅覆盖癌症相关理赔。这通常更实惠，若癌症保险是你的首要关注点则非常理想。

Accuro

SmartCare: 每年为一般外科提供高达 $300,000 的覆盖，癌症治疗（含 Pharmac 批准药物）每年高达 $65,000。
SmartCare+: 更全面，外科一般为 $500,000，癌症治疗为 $300,000。重要的是，非 Pharmac 化疗药物包含在一般外科福利之下。

AA Health Insurance

Base Cover: 癌症手术覆盖最高 $300,000，癌症治疗覆盖最高 $200,000/年。它覆盖 Pharmac 资助的居家药物和非 Pharmac 化疗药物，每年上限各为 $10,000。
Non-PHARMAC Plus Add-on: 如同 NIB，你可以选择额外的非 Pharmac 药物覆盖，分级从 $50,000 到 $300,000。

Comparison Table: Cancer Cover Options

Provider	Base Cancer Cover	Non-Pharmac Drug Add-ons
Southern Cross	$60,000/年 (化疗，含 $10k 非 Pharmac)	Cancer Cover Plus ($100k/$300k) Cancer Assist (一次性金额)
NIB	手术 $300k，治疗 $200k 高级版：$20k 非 Pharmac 化疗药物	Non-PHARMAC Plus ($50k-$300k)
AIA	无限手术/放射治疗 Chemo $500k incl. non-Pharmac	N/A Cancer-only plan available
Accuro	SmartCare: $65k 癌症 SmartCare+: $300k 癌症（非 Pharmac 在手术福利中）	N/A
AA Health Insurance	手术 $300k，治疗 $200k $10k 非 Pharmac 化疗药	Non-PHARMAC Plus ($50k-$300k)

如何选择合适的保单

检查限额： 未由 Pharmac 资助的癌症药物每年可能花费数十万，因此要寻找高覆盖上限或无限额福利。
考虑附加险： 如 Cancer Cover Plus 或 Non-PHARMAC Plus 之类的附加险对全面保障可能是必不可少的。
寻找一次性付款选项： 保单如 Cancer Assist 提供灵活性，让你按需要使用赔付。
审查等待期与除外条款： 某些保单设有等待期，或可能排除对既往病症的保障。
咨询顾问： 健康保险较为复杂，持牌顾问可以帮助您解读保单文件并将保障量身定制以满足您的需求。

重要提醒

所有健康保险政策均有条款与条件，包括年龄限制、既往疾病条款和遗传风险的上限。在决定前，务必仔细阅读产品披露声明并详细比较各方案。

癌症保险的作用在于带来安心，确保您和家人能够获得尽可能最佳的治疗，而无需承受压倒性的成本。请定期评估您的需求，并在医疗技术和治疗选项发展时更新您的保单。

Cancer Health Insurance Choices in New Zealand

For New Zealanders facing cancer, the financial burden of treatment can be enormous—especially if you need medications that aren’t publicly funded by Pharmac. While standard health insurance usually covers some treatments, many policies do not automatically include the cost of expensive non-Pharmac cancer drugs, which can run to $100,000 or more per year. Fortunately, several major insurers in NZ offer specialised cancer cover and add-ons to help fill these funding gaps. Here’s a detailed look at your options and what to consider.

Why Cancer Cover Matters

Cancer care has advanced rapidly, and while some breakthrough medications are government-funded, many life-extending or innovative drugs remain outside Pharmac’s list. This means patients often need to pay out of pocket, unless they have a policy that specifically covers these treatments. Having the right insurance can be the difference between accessing the latest treatments or facing financial stress during a difficult time.

Southern Cross

Base Cover: All major Southern Cross plans (Wellbeing One, Wellbeing Two, Ultracare) include unlimited surgical and radiology benefits, and up to $60,000/year for chemotherapy. This covers $10,000 annually for non-Pharmac funded chemotherapy drugs.
Add-on: Cancer Cover Plus – Upgrade your annual chemotherapy cover to either $100,000 or $300,000. This can help if you require new or expensive drugs not funded by Pharmac.
Add-on: Cancer Assist – Provides a one-off, tax-free lump sum (choose from $20k to $300k) upon diagnosis of a covered cancer. You can use this payout as needed—for living expenses, treatment, or other needs.

NIB

Standard and Premium Plans: Both cover cancer surgery up to $300,000 per claim year and treatment up to $200,000. Pharmac-funded cancer drugs for home use are included up to $10,000 annually. The Premium plan also covers non-Pharmac chemotherapy drugs up to $20,000 per year.
Non-PHARMAC Plus Add-on: Offers additional cover for non-Pharmac funded drugs, not just for cancer but for a wide range of conditions. You can select cover from $50,000 to $300,000 per year, providing added peace of mind for access to the latest treatments.

AIA

Private Health: This comprehensive policy provides unlimited cover for surgical and radiology cancer treatments, plus up to $500,000 per year for chemotherapy—covering both Pharmac and non-Pharmac drugs.
Cancer Care: AIA also offers a cancer-specific plan that mirrors their full policy’s cancer benefits, but only covers cancer-related claims. This is often more affordable and ideal if cancer cover is your top concern.

Accuro

SmartCare: Offers up to $300,000 per year for general surgery and $65,000 per year for cancer treatment with Pharmac-approved drugs.
SmartCare+: More comprehensive, with $500,000 for general surgery and $300,000 for cancer treatment. Importantly, non-Pharmac chemotherapy drugs are included under the general surgery benefit.

AA Health Insurance

Base Cover: Pays for cancer surgery up to $300,000 and cancer treatment up to $200,000 per year. It covers Pharmac-funded home-use drugs and non-Pharmac chemotherapy drugs, each up to $10,000 per year.
Non-PHARMAC Plus Add-on: Like NIB, you can choose extra non-Pharmac drug cover in tiers from $50,000 up to $300,000.

Comparison Table: Cancer Cover Options

Provider	Base Cancer Cover	Non-Pharmac Drug Add-ons
Southern Cross	$60,000/year (chemo incl. $10k non-Pharmac)	Cancer Cover Plus ($100k/$300k) Cancer Assist (lump sum)
NIB	Surgery $300k, Treatment $200k Premium: $20k non-Pharmac chemo	Non-PHARMAC Plus ($50k-$300k)
AIA	Unlimited surgery/radiology Chemo $500k incl. non-Pharmac	N/A Cancer-only plan available
Accuro	SmartCare: $65k cancer SmartCare+: $300k cancer (non-Pharmac in surgery benefit)	N/A
AA Health Insurance	Surgery $300k, Treatment $200k $10k for non-Pharmac chemo	Non-PHARMAC Plus ($50k-$300k)

How to Choose the Right Policy

Check the Limits: Cancer drugs not funded by Pharmac can cost hundreds of thousands per year, so look for high coverage caps or unlimited benefits.
Consider Add-ons: Add-ons like Cancer Cover Plus or Non-PHARMAC Plus can be essential for complete protection.
Look for Lump Sum Options: Policies like Cancer Assist provide flexibility, letting you use your payout as you see fit.
Review Waiting Periods & Exclusions: Some policies have stand-down times or may exclude cover for pre-existing conditions.
Consult an Adviser: Health insurance is complex, and a licensed adviser can help you navigate policy documents and tailor cover to your needs.

Important Reminders

All health insurance policies come with terms and conditions, including age restrictions, pre-existing condition clauses, and limits for hereditary risks. Always read the product disclosure statement carefully and compare plans in detail before deciding.

Cancer insurance cover is about peace of mind, ensuring you and your family have access to the best possible treatment without facing overwhelming costs. Review your needs regularly and update your policy as medical technology and treatment options evolve.
