Just got my renewal notice from Hibernian Aviva Health. They state, “The price includes the Government Health Insurance Levy”, which I have a major problem with, however when I did the maths all was not correct. I rang the Company and found out that the price also included a 6% premium increase, which was not mentioned anywhere! When I advised him that I had not been informed on such an increase, I was told that the increase was mentioned in the papers.
Questions…Is it the responsibility of the insurer to advised the client in writing about premium increases?
Are all Health Insurers passing on the new levy to their clients?
Thanks for the reply. Never thought of looking at Health Insurance from a car insurance perspective! Only fear would be, if I took the cheaper 3rd party,or so to speak, that I wouldn't be able to get back up to comprehensive cover later, if you get my drift!
My VHI company plan plus has gone up from about 620 to about 740 - I think this means they are passing on part of the health levy anyway.

On the aviva website you can compare their products to any from quinn or vhi. Although they price quinn slightly higher than they actually are, but you can see the benefits by comparison.
