Why Choose 1 Health for Your Healthcare Needs?

Comprehensive Insurance Partnerships


1 Health works with a wide range of reputable health insurance companies, enabling seamless care for our patients. Whether you need a GP appointment or specialist care, our strong insurer relationships mean your insurance is accepted—and claims are processed smoothly.


Southern Cross: New Zealand’s Trusted Health Insurer

With over 955,000 members, Southern Cross Health Society is New Zealand’s largest not-for-profit health insurer. As a trusted partner of 1 Health, we’re proud to offer advanced solutions like Easy-Claim, helping New Zealanders get the most out of their health plans.


What is Southern Cross Easy-Claim?

Southern Cross Easy-Claim is a digital claim system designed to make health insurance claims simpler:

  • Instant Approval: Present your Southern Cross card at 1 Health’s reception for eligible services.
  • No Paperwork: Claims are processed on the spot—no filling in forms or waiting for reimbursements.
  • Direct Payments: Southern Cross pays 1 Health directly, so you only pay the remainder (if any) not covered under your policy.


How It Works at 1 Health

  1. Book Your Appointment: Schedule an appointment with any 1 Health service provider partnered with Southern Cross.
  2. Present Your Card: When you arrive, show your Southern Cross Easy-Claim membership card—physical or digital.
  3. Automatic Processing: Our team processes your claim instantly while you’re at the clinic.
  4. Pay the Difference: If your policy covers the full cost, you pay nothing extra. If not, simply pay the remaining balance.


Benefits for 1 Health Patients

  • Fast Claims: No delay in reimbursement, no lengthy paperwork.
  • Less Stress: We handle the admin so you can focus on your health.
  • Cost Transparency: Only pay what isn’t covered by your insurer.
  • Wide Acceptance: Southern Cross Easy-Claim is accepted across general practice, dental, optical, physiotherapy, and more.
