聯邦衛生部長利蘇珊表示,今年私人醫療保險的保費將會增加5.59%,強調已經為國民爭取最低加幅。
一月,利蘇珊要求私人醫保公司就加保費的問題重新提交申請,並關注整個申請過程未能使政府掌握私人醫保公司的財政狀況。
當中22間澳洲醫人醫保公司在重新提交申請時降低加幅。
利蘇珊表示,私人醫保的保費增長率,平均每年為6.1%,今年的加幅已經是四年內最低。
利蘇珊在聲明中表示:「全體消費者節省1.25億元,一個家庭的綜合醫院及普通保險每年節省166元。」
在現行法例下,私人醫保公司要加保費,必須獲聯邦衛生部長批准。
新保費在4月1日起實施。
上個財政年度,有大約50萬名澳洲人放棄買私人醫保,部分原因是保費過高難以負擔。
