Te Nehenehenui Everyday Health Plan Overview

Working together for Maniapoto whānau, hapū, iwi wellbeing.

Te Nehenehenui is committed to improve the wellbeing of their people and they’re proud to partner with nib in this important mahi to make healthcare more accessible to those who need it most. The Te Nehenehenui Everyday Health Plan helps you take care of your everyday health expenses, so you can focus on what matters most — spending time with whānau, being involved in your community and enjoying life.

While this health insurance is available at no cost during the first year for Maniapoto kaumātua aged 65 and over, a heavily subsidised insurance package will be available thereafter. In addition, other whānau members registered with Te Nehenehenui and holding a Maniapoto registration number can access the Te Nehenehenui Everyday Health Plan at their own cost. This is an opportunity for everyone in the wider whānau to take part in a holistic approach to wellbeing.
