The Medical Costs Finder lets you find out more about the cost of specialist medical services.
nib does not have a preferred-provider-network-arrangement, but operates an nib-MediGap scheme aiming to eliminate the 'gap' payments for specialist fees in hospital. When a specialist chooses to participate in MediGap, they agree not to charge an out-of-pocket expense for your procedure. We do this by building a network of specialists who may agree to receive a higher benefit from nib than they would ordinarily receive. In exchange they do not charge nib customers an out-of-pocket expense. Ask your specialist if they'll MediGap for you! Our Going to Hospital Pack provides more ways to reduce out-of-pockets, ask us for your copy.
