PaddyBloggit,
The only alternative plan worth considering is VHI One Plan 500.
Details as follows;
1. One Plan 500; price 715pa; all public and private hospitals covered, + Beacon hi-tech hospital Dublin covered. Private excess 500 x 2 max
per year for all admissions and day case excess 150 per procedure.
NOTE; If you are at an age where hip or knee replacement surgery might be needed, this plan is not recommended as there is only 60% cover
in private hospitals.

An alternative plan worth keeping in mind for future reference, if you plan on reducing the 500 private excess, is as follows;
2. Laya Essential Health 300; price 895pa; all public, private and Beacon hospital covered. Full cardiac cover in all 3 Dublin hi-tech hospitals
with no excess to pay. Full orthopaedic cover ( hip and knee replacement surgery). Private hospital excess 300 x 2 max per year for all
private admissions and day case excess 125 per procedure. Private room fully covered in Mater Private Cork.
