Being a HealthCarePlus Member offers you more than just access to UniMed Health Insurance Plans. We can offer members so much more with access to a growing range of offers from businesses across New Zealand. While the cost-of-living squeeze has eased up over the last year or so, plenty of budgets are still feeling the pinch. So every little bit helps and small savings can soon add up
Better Off Together is designed to help members do just that. It's an easy way to find exclusive offers and services across everyday living, like fuel, home & contents insurance, car services, pharmacy services and more, so members can save on things they already use and rely on.
Plus, you can access a wealth of knowledge and support that can help you with personal financial matters and your health.
Last year, we started tracking some of our benefits to say if they were making a difference. At the end of the year, we calculated that our members have collectively saved or received refunds worth over $8 million.
Simply by using the offers and services available through the program, members are unlocking real value and benefits that add up to meaningful savings back into their pockets.
Better Off Together helps members reduce the cost of things many already pay for, quietly easing financial pressure over time.
Fuel savings with Kora: With 10 cents off per litre, members have collectively saved over $22,817 on fuel last year.
Meal kits with HelloFresh: Last year alone, members saved over $9,000 on their grocery bills, making meal planning simpler and more affordable.
Car rentals with Budget: Members have already saved more than $34,000 on rental costs, whether travelling for a holiday or visiting family.
The program also includes savings that help members protect their assets and enjoy life with confidence.
UniMed Primary Care Plans: We actively encourage members to claim and it’s working. Last year, members claimed a total of $7.1 million back on day-to-day healthcare costs.
Life insurance through Monument: Members saved $961,602 this year on life and living insurance premiums, helping protect what matters most.
House, contents and landlord insurance with Tower: Members have already saved over $53,741 on premium costs.
Travel insurance with Cover-More: This partnership has helped members save up to $14,598 on premium costs last year year.
Individually, these savings may seem modest. Together, they can make a meaningful difference.
This is the first full year of the program and we know there are gaps to fill. We plan to add a whole lot more partners to our program to increase the opportunities to save even more.
Our core purpose is to stand beside working people and retirees, to make wellbeing more affordable, and to ensure members remain better off together.
Looking ahead to 2026, we’re excited to bring you more partners, more benefits, and even stronger support as we continue growing a program that delivers real, everyday value to our members.
