Hi Folks,
I am looking for some advice on health insurance Policies. Based in the west of Ireland [Mayo].
My Parents (62) & (61) and I(35) are currently covered by Laya Simply Connect [1100 euro last year], My brother (27) is on Assure Vitality [567 euro last year].
quote for renewal: 1,230 for Simply connect ( up from 130 last year). 628 for Vitality (up from 60 odd from last year).
Both parents are on tablets for High BP, dad also on tablets for Gout. I am in a similar case to dad, Tablets for BP, get the odd bout of gout.
Younger brother has no problems thankfully.
So looking at the policies are we better to switch too Inspire and save 130 each, It seems the same except the cover in the Dublin private hospitals, which based in the west is less of a requirement. Also is the Galway Clinic / Bons Secour covered in Inspire/Simply Connect?
The other two options I looked at were Simplicity and Simply Connect Plus, both about 40 more then the current plan but may be worth the upgrade based on the new Simply connect price.
Also one other thing that confuses me, I see in some comparisons it lists Simply connect with a start date of 1970 and price 1132 but others show a start date last year and the 1230 price, is this just a bug in the HIA compare site?
Also is the younger brother on good a package or is there a better alternative?
Renewal date seems to be Jan 1st:
"We wish to thank you for your membership and to let you know your policy will renew on January 1st. "
on first direct debit collection on January 3rd.
Thanks in Advance
