Private health insurance is one of most lifestyle choices that we all need.

Do you go with the system and use the health safety net that the public health-care program provides? Or seek the extra security and choice provided by private health insurance?

Lately, the requirement for health insurance increased considerably. Get in early and you retain the benefits of no impost. If you are below 30 and buy health insurance, remember, you can retain it for life.

The premium is based on the age you join. So if you join at 35 you have a 10 per cent loading which you retain for the length of your cover.

So if you are in the market for private health insurance here are 5 tips to help you find your way through the huge choice on offer.

1. Work out what you want cover for - basic, hospital, dental, optical etc.

2. Contact a range of funds. Meet with them personally to discuss your needs.

3. Don't buy on price alone. Price is not the best determining factor. Look at the package and options available to suit your age and lifestyle.

4. Look for a product that suits your needs, For example you can save quite a lot of money if you're prepared to share a hospital room.
