Recommendations for private health insurer for reconstruction surgery

Hi, I have not had private health insurance before and bit confused with it all. I was after some recommendations for PH insurance providers for when I proceed with my recon surgery.

@AllyJay is partially correct. Its illegal in Oz for insurers to discriminate against you based on conditions however there is usually a 12 month wait on pre existing conditions. 

Depending on where you are in your treatment though, this may work well for you and might be quicker than the public system
