I got married just over two years ago. This coming year I'm looking to make some changes to our health insurance. It was simple when it was just myself but I am now looking to insure the whole family.
Currently this is what we have;
My wife is considering a career break next year to look after the baby and as she will have no income I am looking at paying for her policy along with the two children. I want us all to have "good" health insurance. I would prefer to stay with VHI but I am prepared to move.
My wife has a benign brain tumour and is three years into the five year waiting period for pre-existing conditions. She's currently attending Beaumont in the public system. At the moment (and hopefully for the future) the symptoms are being managed and it's not life threatening. Should this change for the worse I want her to have the best care possible.
What are my options?
Currently this is what we have;
- Myself (44) - VHI One Plan Complete (civil service group scheme) renewal date is 01/01/2016 and paid for by myself.
- Wife (44) - VHI Teacher's Plan - renewal date is 01/02/2016 paid for by the wife.
- Baby (6 weeks) - VHI TMI ??? - renewal date is 01/02/2016 free with the wife's policy until renewal.
- Step-daughter (18) - no health insurance currently.
