Euromedic Ireland would like to advise its patients and referrers that VHI cover for CT scans in Euromedic Dundrum is currently under review with the VHI pending a decision in the coming weeks. In the interim period, Euromedic Dundrum is offering a special CT price for standard CT scans of €175, effective from today (2nd July 2010), until further notice.
The price is approximately half the cost of CT scans provided by other operators. It has been put in place to facilitate direct paying patients who need affordable scans quickly.
Euromedic Dundrum has operated the only direct settlement VHI CT contract in Ireland for the last five years. Approximately 6,500 CT scans are performed annually at Euromedic Dundrum on referral from a medical practitioner. All patient records for CT scans are retained in Euromedic Ireland's secure database, to ensure continuity of care in repeat CT scans.
The CT price on offer covers standard CT scans, with or without contrast. Prices for more complex CT scans may vary. Quinn and Aviva Healthcare cover remains the same. Please check with your provider for details.
To make an appointment for a CT at Euromedic Dundrum, please contact: 01 213 5959 or fax a referral letter to 01 213 0950.
Novaflare77,
This is very interesting
I called the VHI earlier today attempting to confirm that I would have full direct payment cover for a CT scan at Euromedic, Dundrum.
My renewal date is 1st August & on last renewal changed from E to Co plan Exec
A guy in 'VHI claims' told me that I would not be covered & that their direct payment contract with Euromedic had ceased
The T&C &c that the VHI sent me at the time of renewal state that I had full direct payment cover for this
Is this correct ?
Can VHI just stop part of their insurance offering four months after I buy the policy for a year without offering an equivalent service elsewhere ?
Sorry to drag up an old thread - but it is exactly related to my present issue

VHI apparently have no direct payment arrangements with any hospital for CAT or PET CT Scans. Aviva do though and have a big list and Quinn have a limited number.
Yes and no. VHI don't have any direct payment agreements for CT scans, but they have agreements with 6 private hospitals for PET-CT scans (PET-CT scans are different from standard CT scans and far more advanced).
