nib customer service for Australian health insurance members is on 13 16 42, and the nib App, the online member account and web chat handle most questions about cover, payments and claims. nib does not offer in-person member support at its Newcastle head office, so phone, chat and the app are the routes. Have your membership number, the claim or invoice in question and the date of treatment ready, and note a reference for each contact.

Claim statement that does not add up? Start your complaint here as well, and we push it out to nib by email, social media and printed letters.

To escalate a complaint with nib, raise it with a consultant by chat or on 13 16 42, and ask for the matter to be referred to the nib Customer Resolutions Team, which assigns a case manager to review it. You can also put the complaint to that team in writing through the online form on the nib feedback and complaints page, or by post. Set out your membership number, the claim or decision you dispute, what you have been told so far and the outcome you want, and ask for a complaint reference.

Benefit decision you want looked at again? We help you write the escalation in minutes through our complaint process, drawing on thousands of complaint letters that actually worked.

Getting money back from nib depends on what it is for. Extras and hospital claims go through the nib App or the online member account, where you upload the invoice and can follow the claim status; ask nib to explain in writing any claim paid at less than you expected. If you cancel or switch your cover after paying premiums in advance, ask nib to confirm the date your cover ends and whether any premium paid beyond that date will be refunded. Overseas students have a separate refund request process for their cover on the nib website.

Keep the invoices, claim statements and bank statements that show what was paid, and note the date you asked.

Yes: the Commonwealth Ombudsman, acting as the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman, looks into complaints about private health insurers in Australia, and that covers nib health insurance, while nib travel insurance follows a separate route. The Ombudsman generally expects nib to have had the chance to put things right first, so keep a record of every chat, call and reference.

Nothing has been reported about nib here yet. Our research shows what typically goes wrong at private health insurers in Australia: extras claims paid at less than the member expected, hospital treatment that turns out to be excluded or restricted on the chosen level of cover, waiting periods applied after a switch between funds, premium rises and direct debits taken at the wrong amount, and refunds of premiums after cancelling.
