Hi Folks
Interesting situation for someone I work with. Due to family, financial and medical circumstances person currently has a medical card for 2011 covering whole family and is re-applying for same for 2012.
1 child has a significant medical condition that requires extensive surgery etc next year and she is contemplating joining a private health insurance scheme through our company (pre-exisiting conditions covered and no waiting period for coverage) to help expedite and cover the costs of the MRIs and scans etc that will be needed as part of the childs treatment. Basically 1 adult and 1 child coverage.
Would membership of a private health insurance scheme exclude her from holding a medical card at the same time?
