How to Maximise Your Southern Cross GP Benefits at 1 Health

Bernard Teo • 11 November 2025

Getting the most value from your Southern Cross health insurance starts with understanding what you're entitled to and how to access it. At 1 Health, we're proud to partner with Southern Cross Health Society to make your healthcare journey as straightforward and rewarding as possible. Whether you're enrolled with us or considering joining, this comprehensive guide will help you unlock the full potential of your membership benefits.


Understanding Your Southern Cross GP Coverage

Southern Cross Health Society is New Zealand's largest not-for-profit health insurer, serving over 955,000 members across the country. Your Southern Cross policy likely includes a range of GP-related benefits that can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket healthcare costs.[164]


What's Typically Covered Under Southern Cross GP Benefits

Depending on your specific plan—such as Wellbeing One, Wellbeing Two, UltraCare, or HealthEssentials—your coverage may include:[165][166][167]


General Practice Consultations: Standard in-clinic appointments, home visits, phone consultations, and video consultations with your GP are typically covered.[168][165]


Practice Nurse Services: Consultations and treatments provided by practice nurses working from a GP clinic are covered under most plans.[165][168]


Annual Health Checks: Many Southern Cross plans include cover for annual health checks performed by a GP or medical practitioner, providing an opportunity to screen for common conditions and discuss preventative health strategies.[166][167][169]


Flu Vaccinations: Most plans cover flu vaccinations administered by your GP or practice nurse.[167][166][165]


Prescriptions: Coverage for Pharmac-approved prescription medications is included in many day-to-day modules. The prescription benefit typically covers the cost of drugs prescribed by your GP, with annual limits varying by plan.[170][166][167]


Skin Lesion Services: Southern Cross provides cover for skin lesion consultations and minor procedures performed under local anaesthetic or no anaesthetic, including excision, cryotherapy (freezing treatment), biopsy, and electrosurgery of skin lesions. These services must be performed by an Affiliated Provider or GP and must meet specific medical criteria—not cosmetic purposes.[171][172][173][165]


GP Minor Surgeries: Various minor surgical procedures performed by your GP may be covered, including joint injections, contraceptive device insertion or removal, ring pessary procedures, and steroid injections.[165]


Diagnostic Tests and Procedures: Some plans cover diagnostic tests performed at your GP clinic, such as hearing tests, INR monitoring for warfarin therapy, phlebotomy (blood sample collection), and smear tests.[165]


Making the Most of Your Membership at 1 Health

Enrol with 1 Health for Continuity of Care

While casual appointments are available, enrolling with 1 Health through our 1 Health Club membership offers significant advantages that complement your Southern Cross benefits:[174][175][176]

·       Same doctor continuity for seven days: Building a relationship with a GP who knows your medical history leads to better health outcomes[177][178][179]

·       Longer appointment times when needed: No more rushed 15-minute consultations[176][174]

·       After-hours and weekend access: Available seven days a week with a small surcharge[175][176]

·       Partner discounts: Exclusive savings with local physiotherapists, gyms, optometrists, and other health and wellness providers across Christchurch[175][176]


Enrolling with a general practice is free and provides access to government subsidies that reduce consultation fees. Combined with your Southern Cross benefits, this dual approach maximises your healthcare value.[179][180][177]


Take Advantage of Easy-Claim at 1 Health

One of the most convenient features for Southern Cross members at 1 Health is Easy-Claim—a digital system that eliminates paperwork and waiting for reimbursements.[181][164]


How Easy-Claim Works at 1 Health:[182][164][181]

1.     Book your appointment: Schedule your GP visit, skin check, minor procedure, or other eligible service

2.    Present your Southern Cross card: Show your membership card (physical or digital) at reception when you arrive

3.     Instant claim processing: Our team submits your claim electronically to Southern Cross on your behalf while you wait

4.    Pay only the difference: If your policy covers the full cost, you pay nothing extra. Otherwise, you simply pay the remaining balance not covered by your insurance


This seamless process means no claim forms to complete, no waiting weeks for reimbursement, and transparent cost management. Within seconds, you'll know exactly what Southern Cross will cover and what you're responsible for paying.[183][164][181]


Access Southern Cross Dental Benefits at 1 Health Dental

As part of our comprehensive healthcare offering, 1 Health Dental also accepts Southern Cross Easy-Claim for eligible dental services. Many Southern Cross policies include dental cover as part of their day-to-day benefits or as optional add-on modules, providing coverage for routine check-ups, cleaning, X-rays, fillings, and other preventative and restorative treatments.[164]


Having both your GP and dental care under one roof with Easy-Claim capability means you can maximise all your Southern Cross health benefits conveniently in one location. Whether you need a medical consultation or dental treatment, our integrated approach makes managing your healthcare simpler and more efficient.


Maximise Your Skin Health Benefits

New Zealand has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, making regular skin checks essential for early detection. Southern Cross provides valuable cover for skin lesion services when medically necessary.[173][171][165]


What's Covered:[172][171][173][165]

·       Dermoscopy and skin lesion consultations with your GP

·       Cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen freezing) of skin lesions

·       Excision, biopsy, or removal of suspicious or problematic skin lesions

·       Consultations related to skin lesion assessment and treatment


Important Criteria:[171]

Southern Cross will only reimburse for skin lesion removal when specific medical criteria are met, including:

·       Treatment of skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, actinic keratosis)

·       Removal of rapidly growing or suspicious lesions

·       Treatment of cysts and other lesions affecting sweat glands or hair follicles

·       Other benign lesions where medically necessary and not cosmetic in nature

Skin checks or mole mapping for health screening purposes are typically not covered unless you have a specific concern about a lesion. At 1 Health, our doctors are experienced in skin cancer screening and minor surgical procedures, and we can process your claim through Easy-Claim for eligible services.[176][164][171][175][165]


Keep Track of Your Benefits and Claims

Staying informed about your benefit balances and claim status helps you plan your healthcare spending effectively throughout the policy year.


Use the MySouthernCross App:[184][185][186]

Download the free MySouthernCross app to:

·       Check your annual benefit balances at any time

·       View remaining coverage limits for different services

·       Submit claims by simply taking a photo of your receipt

·       Request prior approval for upcoming treatments

·       Access your member card number for Easy-Claim

·       View your policy documents and communications

·       Track claim status and receive notifications when claims are processed

Most claims submitted through the app are reimbursed within five working days.[186][184]


Monitor Your Spending:[187][188][189]

Different Southern Cross plans have varying annual limits for GP services. For example:

·       Wellbeing One with the Keeping Well Module provides $200 per claims year combined for GP, nurse, optometrist, audiologist services, plus separate limits for prescriptions and clinical psychology[188][189]

·       Wellbeing One with the Day-to-Day Module covers GP services, nurse services, and physiotherapy, with separate prescription coverage[166][167]

·       Some plans like HealthEssentials cover 75% of eligible costs up to annual limits[190]

Understanding your specific limits helps you prioritise which services to claim for first and avoid surprises later in the policy year.


Practical Tips for Maximising Your Benefits

1. Schedule Preventative Care Early in Your Policy Year

Book your annual health check, flu vaccination, and any routine health screenings early in your claims year to ensure you have remaining benefits available for unexpected health needs later.[169]


2. Ask About Coverage Before Treatment

Before proceeding with any non-urgent treatment or procedure, check whether it's covered under your policy. At 1 Health, our reception team can verify your coverage through Easy-Claim, or you can request prior approval through the MySouthernCross app.[191][184][186]


3. Combine Appointments When Possible

If you need multiple services, consider scheduling them together where clinically appropriate. For example, discussing a skin concern during your annual health check, or getting your flu vaccination during a routine consultation, can help you maximise the value from each appointment.


4. Keep Detailed Records

Even with Easy-Claim, maintain your own records of appointments, claims submitted, and benefits used. This helps you track your healthcare spending and ensures you're getting full value from your membership.[192][184]


5. Understand What's Not Covered

Familiarising yourself with policy exclusions prevents disappointment. Generally excluded from Southern Cross GP benefits are:[193][171][165]

·       Health screening or mole mapping for asymptomatic conditions

·       Cosmetic procedures not medically necessary

·       Physical examinations required for third parties (life insurance, driver licence, travel insurance)

·       Pre-existing condition treatments (depending on your plan and waiting periods)

·       Services not performed by recognised healthcare providers

At 1 Health, we're transparent about what's covered and what's not, so you can make informed decisions about your care.[174][175]


6. Utilise Member Discounts and Offers

Beyond your policy benefits, Southern Cross membership includes additional perks like discounts on dental care, eye tests, gym memberships, and other wellness services. Check the Southern Cross member discounts page regularly for current offers that complement your healthcare needs.[194][169]


7. Consider Policy Add-Ons

If you find you're consistently exceeding your GP benefit limits or need additional coverage, speak with Southern Cross about adding modules to your plan. Options like the Keeping Well Module or Day-to-Day Module can provide enhanced GP and prescription coverage tailored to your needs.[189][167][166]
