We are a couple in early seventies and have had Plan B with options vhi for past 40 years.
I hear now premium will go up by a large amount.
All we require is quick access to medical treatment in case of emergency.
Has VHI some other plan that would meet our requirements?
I find it difficult to compare all the various plans.
"Parents & Kids Options"
Have got quotations from Vivas and Quinn for their Plan B Equivalent Corporate Plan?
How does the VHI "Parents & Kids Options" compare to equivalent plans offered by Vivas or Quinn?
What are the pros and cons of this plan for over 70's couple?
How does the VHI "Parents & Kids Options" compare to equivalent plans offered by Vivas or Quinn?
How does the plan address the following point made by the OP: "All we require is quick access to medical treatment in case of emergency".
Sorry to be pedantic ajapale, but it's Aviva now, not Vivas
No loss in cover - price will be cheaper but have to wait to see prices in the paper in the morning
No plan will give you quick access to medical treatment in emergency if you go via emergency room as mentioned on another thread.Private health plans might give quicker access to consultant care or quicker access in private hospital.
So VHI offer the same cover at a cheaper price and the only signifcant difference is that the product is branded "Parent and Kids"? Perhaps Im wrong but is this just a cynical excercise to discourage older people from taking out this plan?
I agree.
I see no plan of this name mentioned either on the Aviva website or or the HIA comparison website.

It was pj (not me) that mentioned this plan in his one line post. Im assuming its a VHI plan.

Hi there, my mum is in her late 60's and I got her into a corporate plan last year, she had been on plan b. VHI don't advertise but anyone is eligible to join. I saved her about €400 pa, and the corporate plans are not affected by the price hike.
P..
Dewdrop,
My understanding is that a 90 year nun can join any plan offered any health insurer! I doesnt matter how the company label the product (parent/kids, corporate, teachers, nurses etc.)
