Health insurance can easily (and understandably) be forgotten about during a separation. But it’s so important that you know the implications of your health insurance policy and the options available to you as a single parent.

In this podcast I chat with Bessie Hassan, Insurance and Money Expert at finder.com.au, to get all the answers you need to make an informed decision and, most importantly, to save money.

Just some of the things we discuss are why we need health insurance and when to get it; how Lifetime Cover Loading works; the implications of sticking to a family policy with your ex after separation (don’t do it!); different types of polices available for single parents; how to get different levels of cover for different family members; Bessie’s personal top tips to save money on your health insurance; a super helpful tip about how comparison websites work and how to use them to you advantage.
