Part of ‘the package’ includes renaming from Premier to Gold in line with the government’s ‘simplification’ as well as some ‘natural therapies’ being removed from benefits per the government ‘reform’. No personal worry about that, just noting it.
edit: The Choice Health Fund comparison tool indicates the tool will be retired from 7 March. I went through it and it has the 2018 rates (no surprise), and HCI was in first place for combined hospital and extras cover, but the interesting reality was the #2 in 2018 was only slightly less than HCI will be 2019. Looking at separate policies was not rewarding as some dollars could be saved, but at the expense of the mix of benefits we use. - deuce 
edit: HCI states the average increase of all health funds across HCI’s equivalent products is 5.53%.
