Level Health will increase the prices of some of its health insurance plans, with an average increase across all plans of four per cent.
The changes apply to renewals on or after February 2nd, 2026. Mid-contract customers will be unaffected until they renew.
The Health Insurance Authority (HIA) said it knows price increases are unwelcome, particularly "during a time of rising living costs".
It said insurers set prices based on factors such as medical inflation and claims costs, but affordability must remain a priority.
Consumers may find better value by shopping around and focusing on the benefits most important to them, the HIA said.
HIA chief executive, Brian Lee, said: “We’re committed to giving consumers clear, unbiased information so they can make confident decisions.
"It’s a good idea to review your health insurance plan every year and take advantage of our free comparison tool to ensure you’re getting the best value for your needs.”
