Insurance confusion - Am I under insured or paying too much?

Confusion about insurance leads consumers to choose more costly coverage than they need and uncertainty about cost can cause people to delay or avoid the care and coverage necessary.

We know that in today’s cost of living crisis and rising interest rates, many Kiwis are struggling to get by.

But alarmingly, New Zealanders are also significantly underinsured, putting their loved ones at risk, findings from the Financial Services Council’s (FSC’s) latest research report Money and You – Taking Cover reveals that around 70% of New Zealanders are underinsured, putting their families and dependents at risk.

Only 11% of respondents reported having income protection insurance, 14% have total and permanent disability insurance, and 18% have cover for trauma or critical illness.

While respondents reported greater uptake of life insurance (38%) and health insurance (32%), an overwhelming percentage of the population are not covered should the worst happen.

Insurance can be complex and not all insurance policies are the same. It’s easy to compare two policies on price, but the cover you get may be very different. So, we have tapped into the expertise of Kim Mason, Monument Financial Adviser who will breakdown the confusion of Insurance and help answer questions you may have. She will cover:

- Why do we need Insurance?
- The different types
- What to consider when buying insurance

Our Aim is to make insurance easy to understand so making it easier to make the right decisions when it comes to protecting what’s important.

The webinar will run for 45 minutes and will be hosted by Alan Sharpe from HealthCarePlus.
