Vhi announces an average price increase of 3% for health insurance plans

Also announces Half Price Kids offer on “One Plan Family”

15th September, 2016 – Vhi today announced that it will increase its prices by an average of 3% across a range of its plans with effect from the 1st November 2016.  

According to Declan Moran, Director of Marketing and Business Development “The main reason for the price increase is the rising cost of claims and in particular the rising cost of claims in public hospitals.  We are very aware of the financial pressures that continue to face our customers and have sought to keep the price increase as low as possible without compromising cover. We are constantly reviewing our health insurance plans to ensure they are comprehensive and relevant. This means providing excellent cover, such as high cost drugs and treatments, for life threatening illnesses like cancer and cardiac care as well as introducing innovative new benefits.”

He continued “I am pleased to announce that we will have an offer of half price kids on “One Plan Family “ for those who renew or take out private health insurance between 1st November and 30th December 2016. We hope this will take some of the pressure off families.”
