After buying a Prime or Lite policy you receive an OrbitPay card you can use like an EFTPOS card at registered NZ GPs and pharmacies. The provider charges OrbitProtect directly, so you don't pay upfront and don't submit a claim.
For 2026, Lite is NZD $669/year and Prime is NZD $786/year (verified on the OrbitProtect 'Premium changes' page). Pricing is for ages 5–60; older students get a manual quote.
