23rd April 2015 - With the Lifetime Community Rating deadline just one week away, Vhi has announced that its Kilkenny-based customer service team will stay open until midnight each day, from Monday 27th April until Thursday 30th April 2015, to ensure customers can take out a private health insurance plan before the introduction of the new loadings.  Vhi are also introducing a special introductory offer by means of an additional 10% discount on four of its most popular plans - One Plan Starter, One Plan Starter day to day, One Plan 500 and One Plan 250 to new customers.  This is on top of the existing offers already launched to encourage people to take out health insurance before 30th April 2015.

According to Declan Moran, Director of Marketing and Business Development “all-in-all there has never been a better time to take out private health insurance with Vhi. The combination of price reductions on 7 plans, a price freeze on the remainder of our plans, the introduction of competitively priced new Start plans, half price kid’s offers and discounts means there is something for everyone looking to join or stay with Vhi.”
