From <strong>1 October 2025</strong>, customers will be able to choose cover that supports faster diagnosis and treatment pathways, without the need to purchase full comprehensive health insurance.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);"><br/></span></p><h3 style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);">Why STS matters</span></h3><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);">With the rising cost of living, many New Zealanders are rethinking their private health insurance options. At the same time, public hospitals are facing increased demand, often leading to longer waiting times and delayed diagnoses. STS bridges this gap by offering a <strong>flexible and affordable solution</strong> that helps people access care sooner.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);">No other insurer in New Zealand currently offers a <strong>standalone specialist and testing cover</strong> independent of full health insurance. STS is available as an optional add-on to eligible Life, Trauma, Income Protection, and Total Permanent Disablement insurance under AIA’s Living range (subject to qualifying cover levels).</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);"><br/></span></p><h3 style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);">Key Features of Specialist and Testing Support (STS)</span></h3><ul><li style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);"><strong>Specialist consultations</strong>: Up to <strong>$10,000 per year</strong> for visits to cardiologists, gastroenterologists, gynaecologists, and more.</span></li><li style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);"><strong>Diagnostic tests and procedures</strong>: Up to <strong>$100,000 per year</strong> for MRIs, colonoscopies, ECGs, and other tests.</span></li><li style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);"><strong>Obstetric and infertility care</strong>: Up to <strong>$1,500</strong> after two years of cover.</span></li><li style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);"><strong>Faster access to diagnosis</strong>, supporting quicker entry onto public waiting lists if treatment is needed.</span></li><li style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);"><strong>Health screening allowance</strong>: Up to <strong>$500 (or $750 for AIA Vitality members)</strong> every three years.</span></li><li style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);"><strong>Excess options</strong>: Choose <strong>$0 or $250</strong>, giving flexibility to lower premiums while maintaining faster access to care.</span></li></ul><h3 style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);"><br/></span></h3><h3 style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);">The bottom line</span></h3><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);">With STS, AIA NZ is offering a <strong>first-of-its-kind solution</strong> for Kiwis who want peace of mind and earlier access to essential healthcare, at a price point that fits today’s financial realities.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:rgb(22, 43, 90);">If you’d like to know more about how this benefit could fit into your insurance plan, or if you need guidance on your broader insurance needs, we’re here to help you find the right cover for your future.</span></p></div><p></p></div><p></p></div></div></div><p></p></div>

Let's dive into the key points that make these changes a real game-changer:</p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><h1 style="text-align:left;font-size:16pt;">1. Early Coverage for Children's Trauma:</h1><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">AIA is putting families first by lowering the minimum age for standalone children's trauma coverage to a mere three months. This significant reduction, down from the previous requirement of two years, ensures that your little ones are protected right from the start.</p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><h1 style="text-align:left;font-size:16pt;">2. Extended Reinstatement Period:</h1><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">In a move that shows AIA's commitment to their customers, they've extended the life buyback reinstatement period from 30 to 60 days. This gives policyholders more time and flexibility when it comes to reinstating their coverage, providing peace of mind when you need it most.</p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><h1 style="text-align:left;font-size:16pt;">3. Enhanced HIV-Related Benefits:</h1><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">AIA has revamped their approach to HIV-related benefits. They've bid farewell to the benefit that paid out on the diagnosis of medically or occupationally acquired HIV. In its place, they've introduced a new benefit that offers payouts upon the diagnosis of advanced AIDS, regardless of how the virus was transmitted.</p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><h1 style="text-align:left;font-size:16pt;">4. Clearer Terminal Illness Definition:</h1><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">Clarity is key, and AIA knows it. They've made it crystal clear that their terminal illness definition hinges on a life expectancy of less than 12 months, irrespective of all reasonable medical treatments. This ensures policyholders have a precise understanding of what to expect.</p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><h1 style="text-align:left;font-size:16pt;">5. Generous Bereavement Support:</h1><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">AIA has increased their bereavement support benefit from $15,000 to $25,000 in cases of joint policy ownership. What's more, this boost means that probate is no longer required, streamlining the process during a challenging time.</p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:12pt;color:inherit;">In a nutshell, these enhancements are a breath of fresh air for AIA customers. It's worth noting that these changes come into effect for new claims on or after October 10, 2023. For claims made before this date, rest assured that AIA will assess them based on the more&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size:12pt;color:inherit;text-align:center;">favourable terms of your original policy. With AIA's updated living products, your future just got a whole lot brighter.</span></div><div style="text-align:left;"></div></span></div></div>
