Just received my VHI renewal notive. As usual the premium has increased substantially. Now I notice that they are now seeking subscribers PRSI numbers due to "recent changes in legislation".
I know that your PRSI is needed to open a bank a/c but I was wondering is there is there any ulterior motive to this move.
Maybe I'm paranoid, but I just can't bring myself to trust Big Brother in Brussels or the shower in Leinster House.
The most recent Health Insurance Act obliges insurers to collect the PPS numbers of their members and to submit them to the Health Insurance Authority. I think it's something to do the additional tax relief at source available to members over 50.
