Our member funds make a big impact to the lives of Australians. They put people before profits, meaning they don't have to generate profits for shareholders or overseas investors, allowing them to give back more in benefits and maintain an unwavering consumer focus. They also make a sizeable contribution to the Australian economy. With $21.8 billion contributed towards GDP and 155,000 jobs facilitated. The quantification of economic activity attributable to the operation of Members Health funds is based on the direct effects of both the operation of the funds themselves as well as the impacts of the follow-on impact of fund operations. Our approach to economic contribution quantification assesses measures such as contribution to output, GDP and employment associated with the Members Health funds portion of the private health insurance industry.

Members Health is calling for 4 key reforms in the run up to the next Federal Election, as part of an economic and social impact report. One of those reforms is removal of the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) on health insurance premiums. Employers should be able to offer health cover to their staff without being unfairly penalised with a doubling of the cost. Health care is a public good and should not be taxed - especially when so many Australians are struggling with cost of living pressures. Giving more Australians the choice to have health insurance cover will not only help with cost of living, it will further benefit national productivity and prosperity by helping more Australians get fast access to high quality care. It will also help take pressure off our overstretched public health system (where waits can extend into the years) by freeing up public beds for those most in need.

The ‘Economic and Social Impact of the Members Health funds of Australia’ shows not-for-profit and member-owned health insurers serve over 5.3 million people, including more than 1.1 million across our regional and remote areas. Accounting for 80% of funds in the market, the 24 insurers contribute over $21.8 billion per annum to GDP, over 155,000 direct and indirect jobs, provide access to 6.4 million hospital bed days, 510,000 elective surgeries, and 37.8 million extras services. “From Australia’s earliest beginnings, not-for-profit and member-owned health insurance funds have stood alongside families – from the cities to our regional and remote areas – playing a vital role in healthcare delivery and the nation’s economic and social wellbeing,” Matthew Koce, CEO of Members Health said. “Good health is fundamental to productivity, wellbeing and economic prosperity. Australia’s private healthcare system is the envy of the world, but given cost of living pressures and long public hospital waits, there is an immediate imperative to further improve affordability, accessibility and consumer empowerment for Australian families.” Thank you to Finity for their assistance in highlighting these important findings. #privatehealth #economicimpact #membershealth #peoplebeforeprofits #memberowned #notforprofit https://lnkd.in/gW57RcKE

Thrilled that Members Health funds have given $1.323 billion back to members since COVID-19.
Members Health funds have returned $1.323 billion to members since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and an additional $42.8 million is on its way. “I am not aware of any other industry that has given back COVID-19 savings in the same transparent, accountable, and substantive way as health insurers. It is something consumers can take heart and confidence in. Equally, it is something that the more than 85,300 people whose jobs are directly related to the 24 Members Health funds can take enormous pride in.” Members Health Fund Alliance #mhfa #memberowned #notforprofit #peoplenotprofit #healthcare #healthfund #healthinsurance #auspol #hospital https://lnkd.in/gwKAghjt

Check out Members Health Fund Alliance's Op Ed in the The Australian Financial Review review today on the topic of private hospital viability. As our CEO Matthew Koce states, the bottom line is that Australia's private hospital landscape is evolving, not collapsing as some private hospitals operators would you have you believe. Instead, private hospitals need to adapt and foster innovation which will ultimately lead to a more efficient and competitive health system. Members Health welcomes the Federal Government's “financial health check” review to kickstart this conversation. Let's work together to make Australia’s healthcare system more robust and agile while prioritising the health of all Australians. #memberowned #peoplenotprofits #healthinsurance #healthcare #healthfund #mhfa #auspol #hospital

Money Magazine are on the money with their quote “..not-for-profit funds tend to pay out a bigger percentage in benefits as a proportion of premiums that for profit funds" --- Not for profit and member owned health funds can represent excellent value for money. They don’t have to generate large profits for shareholders or overseas investors. That means they can give more back to policyholders in benefits than would otherwise be the case.
