Notice of Healthcare Contribution Increase

Greetings Healthcare Members

Last year to support our Healthcare family during the Covid Pandemic, our Board decided there would be no general rate increase. 

Healthcare 99 engages an Actuary on an annual basis.  An Actuary assesses business risk and uncertainty.  Having an Actuarial report, ensures that our fund is operating as best it can.  It is from the latest Actuarial recommendation that our Board have agreed on a 7% contribution increase across all age bands and options, with this taking effect from 6 October 2021 (Pay 14).

To view what your new Healthcare 99 contribution rate will be, please visit our website www.firefighters.org.nz – Select the “Healthcare 99” tab, then select “costs” tab.

Your continued support for your Healthcare plan helps other members and their families obtain medical support when and if they need it.

The Healthcare committee are constantly looking at ways to improve your fund.  We have recently had a meeting with Gallagher Bassett our fund administrators, watch out for some exciting new initiatives.

Thank you for your continued support.
