By now, you’ve probably heard about the Everyday Health Plan Te Nehenehenui has made available for our whānau, through partnership with nib. We have made it available for free for the first year for all our kaumātua 65 and over. It has been awesome to see whānau of all ages enrolling and already using their benefits.
One of our five focus areas within Punga, our Five-Year Plan, is Hauora; building strong, vibrant and healthy whānau and communities through equitable access to mainstream healthcare, mental health care and Rongoā Māori.
When we designed this health insurance with nib, we asked ourselves: what would truly serve our kaumātua?
The answer went beyond typical coverage. This package is all about making sure our whānau don’t have to wait to access the everyday healthcare they need.
All up, there are $6,800 worth of health and support benefits available to whānau through the Everyday Health Plan.
Enrolling takes just 3 easy steps:
- Go to nib.co.nz/tenehenehenui (https://www.nib.co.nz/tenehenehenui)
- Click the ‘Enrol Now’ button
- Fill in your details (have your Maniapoto Membership Number handy)
Once you’re confirmed, you’ll receive your welcome pack and acceptance certificate which will advise how soon you can start using your benefits (your waiting period may be waived). If there are kaumātua in your life who are struggling to navigate the process, lend a hand or get in touch with us!
If you have any questions, you can get in touch with the nib kaiārahi team directly at kaiarahi@nib.co.nz.
