Nina Vasan

This healthcare provider is part of the First Choice network at this location. Remember to check whether the facility (e.g. hospital or practice) is also part of the network to ensure all of your eligible costs are covered.

This provider holds the Tohu Toi Ora, which means they foster a culturally responsive and inclusive practice. All providers with Tohu Toi Ora support positive healthcare experiences for Māori.

nib, in partnership with Ngāti Whātua Ōrakei, is on a journey to become a better health partner to Māori and address some of the disparities that exist in the health sector. To do this, we will identify providers within nib's 'Find a Provider' directory who we consider actively promote a culturally responsive and inclusive environment for Māori and endorse them with a symbol called the Tohu Toi Ora. This allows members to find a provider that they know practices in a way that is welcoming, engaging and safe for Māori.

Before you book an appointment for your consultation or treatment, check that your eligible costs will be covered for peace of mind. Simply log in to my nib, opens in a new tab and refer to your Policy document and Acceptance certificate.

Alternatively, for Outpatient and Hospital appointments you or your First Choice network healthcare provider can submit a pre-approval request.
