Member retention (hospital cover)

79.0% is the Commonwealth Ombudsman's figure for NIB in its State of the Health Funds Report 2024-25 (Table 1, page 15; data at 30 June 2025).

The Ombudsman describes it as one measure of the comparative effectiveness of insurers and of their level of member satisfaction: the percentage of members, hospital memberships only, who have remained with the insurer for 2 years or more (page 12). It is published for the insurer, not for this policy, and is not adjusted for policies that lapse when a member dies. The Ombudsman cautions that no single indicator shows an insurer's overall performance (page 27).

It is shown as published. The list is not sorted, filtered or ranked by it.
