    FAQs

    + Expand All
    - Collapse All

    What are the benefits of AIA Cancer Care?

    AIA Cancer Care can help pay for the significant costs associated with cancer treatment like hospital stays, diagnostics tests, treatments (including government funded and non-funded cancer treatment medication) and procedures, travel and lodging expenses, childcare, and more.


    What if I already have health insurance, can I still get AIA Cancer Care?

    AIA Cancer Care cannot be held along with an existing AIA Health policy due to the significant overlap in cover.

    If you have existing health insurance with another provider, you will need to review your policy to check if AIA Cancer Care will be a suitable addition to your cover.


    Is there an excess with AIA Cancer Care?

    AIA Cancer Care is only available with a zero-excess option.


    Can children get AIA Cancer Care?

    Yes, there is no minimum age to apply for AIA Cancer Care.


    What’s the difference between AIA Cancer Care and AIA Living Critical Conditions insurance?
    • AIA Living Critical Conditions is a trauma product designed to make a lump sum payment if you are diagnosed with a serious illness or injury from a defined set of conditions (including cancer).
    • AIA Cancer Care is a health insurance product designed to cover medical expenses associated with the diagnosis, treatment and recovery of cancer. It provides ongoing cover for cancer treatment, rather than a lump sum as in Critical Conditions.

    If Cancer runs in my family, can I still get AIA Cancer Care?

    We recommend you apply for cover providing full details of your family history. The underwriting process will determine if we can provide cover or if there will be additional terms applied to your policy. 


    Is AIA Cancer Care and AIA Private Health insurance the same?

    AIA Cancer Care and AIA Private Health are two benefits available under our AIA Health range. AIA Cancer Care is designed to cover medical expenses associated with the diagnosis, treatment and recovery of cancer only whereas AIA Private Health provides comprehensive cover for a wide range of medical conditions including cancer.


    How do I make a claim?

    Contact us or your insurance adviser as soon as possible once you know that you may have a claim.

    With AIA you can easily contact our claims department online by live chat, telephone or email.

    You may need prior approval before undertaking treatment. AIA will help you with this and arrange to pay providers directly if approved.  For more information contact your adviser or visit aia.co.nz/claims


    What is the difference between a Policy Owner and Life Assured?

    The Policy Owner owns and controls the policy and is responsible for payment of premiums. The Life Assured is the person who has been insured under the policy.

    If you need to make any changes to a policy, we require written authority from the Policy Owner.
