About Blue Diamond
NHP Blue Diamond offers unlimited coverage for day-to-day primary healthcare services at designated service provider facilities. These service providers can be found on our list of contracted general practitioners and registered nurses here. Blue Diamond gives individuals in the lower income group access to subsidised private healthcare with added access to our maternity benefit.
Note: If you are currently a member of any of the other NHP benefit options and not used to primary healthcare, we strongly recommend that you do not “buy down” to the Blue Diamond benefit option as your choice of general practitioner, nurse and healthcare facility is restricted. Blue Diamond benefits are not pro-rated apart from optical and dental benefits where sub-limits are applicable.
