Momentum Health 2026 – Balancing Affordability and Quality

Momentum Health recently announced its 2026 updates, with a strong focus on affordability, prevention, and lifestyle-based rewards. Let’s explore what this means for you and your family.

Premium and Contribution Updates

Momentum, with a healthy and growing membership base, has announced a weighted increase of 9.9% for 2026. While healthcare costs continue to rise across the industry, Momentum positions itself as one of the few schemes showing sustained growth.

Key Updates for 2026

• Enhanced Health Platform Benefits: New screening benefits and increased dental cover.

• CPI-aligned income bands & co-payments to keep contributions in line with inflation.

• Multiply Rewards: Momentum’s rewards programme has been simplified to encourage healthy behaviour. Engaged members claim 16% less and can now use rewards to pay contributions via the Health Saver account.

• Digital Health Tracking: New fitness and health assessments have been added, making it easier to engage with your health goals.

Features for 2026

Momentum is investing in preventative care and lifestyle management, with a clear focus on helping members take proactive steps to manage their health. This includes digital tools and improved access to screenings.

Why It Matters

While the premium increase may feel steep, the return on spend lies in the improved benefits, preventative care, and long-term health outcomes. For members who engage actively, the Multiply Rewards programme can offset costs significantly.
