My wife, myself and 3 kids (9,11 and 13) are covered under this plan.

Premium is 291 per month, and ideas how to save some cash would be most appreciated?

Thanks in advance.

P.s. I think health insurance has to be the most non-transparent product out there but maybe I just haven’t applied myself to figuring it out...

Note; Children can be insured with VHI on their own, without an adult on the policy. VHI are the only provider that allow this.
So if you choose an Irish Life plan for the children, at least one adult has to be also with Irish Life.
You can choose different plans, if it suits according to your families individual needs.
