Hi All,
My mother recently asked me to look into health insurance cover for her. She is 69 and has never had health insurance previously. She is still working full time, and has no pre-existing conditions. I'm aware of the LCR, and that she is going to have 70% on top of any premium.
There are so many policies out there, and i'm struggling to find one which best suits her. The reason she wants to get insurance now is in case of any orthopedic procedures she may need down the line - she knows that there will be a 5 year waiting period on these. She has some monthly prescriptions, and goes to her GP a few times a year, but otherwise is perfectly healthy thankfully.
Can anyone point me in the right direction policy wise? Irish Life are recommending the Befit 1 policy, which has a €2,000 "co-payment" against certain orthopedic procedures. I have the VHI One Plus plan myself, and this is what VHI are recommending for her as well.
There might be someone in a similar position on here? I'm just finding it rather daunting sifting through all these policies on the HIA website. Any help is much appreciated
