My experience with iselect was great! I dealt with a lady call Sandra Tran who is very helpful and really knows the market and products. she guided me thru transfering from HCF to NIB health insurance. i ended up with more cover at a reduced monthly premium and got 2 months free!!! I have no hesitation in recommending iselect and Sandra for your health insurance needs. thank you Sandra Show reply

iSelect determined that ahm Health Insurance offered a more affordable option than my current insurer, Teachers Health. When the iSelect agent requested my personal information, including bank account details, I explained to him that I had not yet decided to sign up with ahm, as I needed time to consider his offer. The agent replied that, by… Read more

providing this information, I was not committing to ahm, and that I had a cooling off period of ten days. Reluctantly, I provided the rest of the information that was requested. At the end of the conversation, I explicitly requested that neither iSelect nor ahm should not contact Teachers Health until after I had confirmed the switch – if, indeed, I did decide to switch health funds. The agent agreed that no such communication would take place until the appropriate time. Subsequently, I decided to stay with Teachers Health. On the next business day, I phoned ahm to invoke the cooling-off period, and the ahm agent cancelled the policy. Later that day, a representative from Teachers Health contacted me to let me know that she knew that I had considered switching to ahm, and that she would happily assist me in making my decision. How did Teachers Health know that I had contacted iSelect? The only possible explanations for this disclosure are that either: 1. iSelect blatantly disregarded my request to refrain from informing Teachers Health that I was considering changing health funds, or: 2. iSelect did not communicate my request to ahm, and ahm informed Teachers Health, without my consent, that I was considering changing health funds. It goes without saying that I now deeply regret having disclosed my personal details to iSelect and ahm. What other third parties are now privy to this information? In future, I will undertake my own research rather than entrust my personal details to iSelect – a company that is clearly focused more on the commission that it generates from its referrals than on safeguarding the privacy of its clients. Needless to say, ahm, an incompetent and untrustworthy organisation, and with a Product Review rating of just 3.3 stars, is also off my radar. I emailed both of these companies to express my concerns. After one week, there has been no reply to my emails, but I did receive a lovely welcome letter and membership card from ahm in today’s mail! Inept and bungling are two words that come to mind!

Saved me at least $400 pa – Brad was our consultant. He has been the best consultant I have ever used for insurance compassion. He was SO knowledgeable on every subject I raised & was able to explain it simply to me. He put forward a great solution to my problem which was what got me over the line. I cannot praise him enough. I was hesitant & anxious to begin with but after… Read more ·  1

speaking with Brad, I was completely comfortable about every aspect of the change to HCF. He also referred me to a colleague who was able to save me almost $50 p/m on electricity. I couldn’t be happier.

They say compare with us and save so that’s exactly I did and this is what I got. Received comparison from Budget direct (used to be good but rip Off now a days) and oceania INSURANCE Comprehensive cover $5245/ANNUALLY $5912/ANNUALLY $1000 Excess for both. Insurance companies are ripping off their coustmers to fill their pockets, their profits are rising and they’d CEOs should be investigated. I would avoid iselect from now on.

Time wasters – I was enticed to enquire about Home and Contents Insurance on iSelect by a graph on their website saying that average premiums in WA were $724. So I spend 15 minutes to type in all my details, to receive three quotations of over $1900. I don't live in a mansion! They gave very misleading information on their website. Show details

Warning - dishonest advice. Recently I was talked by iSelect into switching my Health insurance from HCF to BUPA. One of the features that was important to me was no gap claim for twice yearly dental checkups provided by HCF. During the conversation… Read more

with the iSelect representative I specifically asked if that feature would be available to me from BUPA. I was assured that it would be. However, today, after my first visit for a dental checkup this year, I was charged $67.60 out-of-pocket costs. Apparently, iSelect rep failed to mention that 100% cover would be provided only if I were to attend BUPA dental clinic. In other words I could not choose my own preferred dentist with BUPA's cover. Now I'll be switching back to HCF with a loss of about $200 total because I had prepaid my cover with HCF before April 1 at the old rate. I do understand that iSelect rep very much wanted to get the commissions, but why I should pay for it. I lodged the complaint with iSelect, but reply is not coming for 2–3 weeks. Shame on you iSelect - you now lost me as one of yours long-standing customer.

 Follow-up  · My complaint was handled quickly and appropriately under the circumstances. I was offered the payment equal to the value that I had to pay out of pocket for my dental visit. However, I am still at a loss as I lost my loyalty discounts that takes 3 years to accumulate and I had to pay HCF at the new rate as it was after the 1 April. Usually I try… Read more

FALSE ADVERTISING TO DRUM UP BUSINESS. After spending 25 minutes on the phone to iSelect, it was agreed that my current Health fund premium was was cheaper that any other fund. The gentleman from iSelect promised the $52 payment as promised on the… Read more

TV ad. He returned to the phone and stated they would not make a payment as the Gold hospital only cover was excluded from their offer. After contacting Product Review iSelect offered the promised $52.00 It agreed to pay $55.00 which came in the form of a credit with Prezzee. The situation trying to obtain my Prezzee was horrendous from the start. After almost 4 hours over 2 days and involving several supposedly customer service live consultants both with Prezzee and Giftcard.com I finally have my gift cards. The Prezee agents kept switching me back to AI when they could not resolve the issue. One even told me I could not get Coles gift cards. Never again. Both iSelect and Prezzee need to have a good look at themselves.

 Follow-up  · I did finally get my Coles gift cards, but ISelect could have provided that electronically from the outset

date of a policy correct, yet somehow they managed it! If they had told me the correct information then I would not have proceeded with the policy, now I have to cancel a policy and get a new one in place urgently. Utterly not acceptable.

outcome was I Select is not Like for Like they run on commision so the benifets are less than what Bupa proper sell in their products. The reason they call you so quickly is because they dont want you the have time to compare between several fund companies. When I tried to cancel the policy they gave me the run around in the end I went to Bupa itself office in the shopping centre to have the policy cancelled. My advice look at all the health funds what they offer what suits on the funds main website for each dont get caught up with this I Select scam.

Would have given a 5 star rating of the customer service officer had got our last names correct. I specifically told him that my last name was spelt in two words but it turned out being joined. According to your AI chat box, I would have to go provide supporting documentation to correct this which seems unfair to me as the officer got our last names incorrectly spelt in the first place. Show reply

I discussed with him my current health cover and it seemed that I was paying too much monthly payments for products I didn’t need. Including the increase from 1st April, I will be saving around $25 per mth switching to another health provider. Thank you Patric W. Show 2 replies

days after I switched to a new insurance company. If you are thinking of switching insurance company through Iselect, please ask the actual premium you got to pay after adding Lifetime Health Cover Loading. I don't want any customer mistakenly think that new premium with the new insurance company is lower with a new policy with a new insurance company. You may end up paying way more than staying with your existing insurance company.

They phoned me dozens of times with fake numbers. I asked them to stop but they persist in calling even after telling them I have no interest in their services. I have blocked all the numbers they call from, and if you return some of the calls, you find out the number is just a spoofed number. I personally think this badgering of people should be considered harassing and be deemed a criminal offence.
