New data from Roy Morgan shows satisfaction with private health insurance is up both month-on-month and year-on-year. Overall, a total of 73.7% of Australians holding private health insurance were either ‘very satisfied’ or ‘fairly satisfied’ with their private health insurance provider in the latest ‘Customer Satisfaction: Private Health Insurance’ report.
