my policy, flex 250 choice is due for renewal and I have been informed it's going up by nearly €20 euro a week. I was also informed that simplicity policy has gotton a big increase. Are they any similar policies cheaper, I didn't get very far on the phone as I find it too mind boggling. I had it two years without any claims been made apart from one trip to the dr and I got €20 back.
 
Uh oh... not Simplicity! Just curious, where did you read that about Simplicity?
It's not listed in the January 2017 set of LAYA plans with increases, but I can see Flex 250 in there.

Laya Healthcare will apply a price change across 56 plans from 1 January 2017. 7 plans reduced in price by an average of 7% on gross premiums.

Usually the price increases are noted on the HIA site well in advance of coming into force.

The comparison feature on the HIA site is usually my first port of call for finding comparable policies:

my policy not do for renewal until May, I gathered that the price increase will be in place by then.

just to follow up on this, From chatting to rep earlier she said from 1st April Simplicity going up from €1087 to €1190 and Control 300 Create is increasing from €972.00 to €1146.98 so all those of us who took out policies to beat the loading a few years ago will be hit this time round. :(
 
delfio,

Simplicity plan would still be good value at the new price 1190 as the private inpatient excess is capped at 100 x 2 per annum.

Another 2 plans to keep in mind at renewal date as follows;
1. Flex 175 Explore; price 953pa; same hospital cover as before, 175 excess per admission, 75 per day case.
2. Total Health Complete 175; price 1125pa; same hospital cover as before, 175 excess per admission + day case. Good day to day cover as before.

Note; there will be updates re price changes on latest news section on hia.ie.

Can you not renew on a date earlier than the 1st April to avoid the increase this year at least? If I recall laya allow you to cancel before your renewal?
