nib First Choice can help you find local health providers

22 November 2017 2 minute read

If you’ve decided it’s time to visit a local dentist for a check-up, you’re thinking you may need glasses, or a trip to the physio is on the cards, it can be tricky to work out which provider is going to be the best option for you or your family.

Because, it’s often not just about where they’re located, but also about their reputation and track record, opening hours and available appointments and whether they’ll charge you extra fees.

That’s why we created the nib First Choice network.

What is the nib First Choice network?

The First Choice network is our community of specially selected health providers, who have promised they will deliver quality care and value for money.

nib First Choice includes dental treatment and physiotherapy, plus you can also enjoy great savings the next time you need a pair of glasses.

How does it work?

As an nib customer you can choose to see the physio, dentist or optical provider of your choice, but by choosing an nib First Choice provider it simply means you could pay less.

Dentists and physiotherapists who are part of our network have agreed to set treatment fees which are lower than the average fees.

Optical providers who are part of our network will offer nib customers a discount when you purchase prescription glasses. Plus you can enjoy other exciting sales and offers available exclusively to nib Group members throughout the year.

It’s as simple as that.
