High Use Health Card

If you visit your doctor frequently due to an ongoing health condition, a High Use Health Card (HUHC) may help reduce some of your healthcare costs.

Who can get it

You may qualify for a High Use Health Card (HUHC) if:

  • you have seen your doctor 12 or more times in a year
  • the visits relate to an ongoing health problem that was not caused by an injury.

Applications for the HUCH are not based on income.

The HUHC is managed by Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora. Check out their website to find out what costs the card may help with and how to apply:
