NIB Holdings Announces 5.79% Premium Increase Amid Rising Healthcare Costs

NIB Holdings Ltd ( (AU:NHF) ) has provided an update.

NIB Holdings Ltd announced a 5.79% increase in health insurance premiums, effective from April 1, 2025, due to rising healthcare costs and increased service utilization. The company has renewed major contracts with private hospitals to ensure service access and limit out-of-pocket expenses for members. Additionally, NIB is expanding its provider networks with initiatives like ‘Known Gap’ and ‘No Gap’ services to offer capped or zero out-of-pocket costs for eligible members. The premium increase also accounts for higher payments for private rooms in public hospitals in NSW, expected to cost over $20 million annually. NIB aims to balance increased costs with delivering member value and supporting the private healthcare sector.
