"Eleven years on, many entry-level plans that cover public hospitals only are expensive and represent poor value for money."
"People who wanted entry-level cover at the lowest cost should consider VHI's Public Plus Care at €500 per adult; Irish Life's First Cover at €511 per adult; Level Health's Plan A at €493 per adult; or Laya's Assure Protect at €593 per adult a year."
Many individuals have not updated their health insurance plans since the introduction of lifetime community rating, which penalizes those over 34 who take out cover for the first time. Approximately 50,000 people are still on entry-level plans that only cover public hospitals, which are now considered expensive and poor value. The best-value entry-level plans are now available for as low as €500 per adult, while many outdated plans cost significantly more. Consumers are encouraged to switch to more affordable options.
