Hi kantoc,
A similar type of plan with no day to day cover would cost 910pa. Laya Control 600 Connect, which is not exactly cheap, plus a seperate
travel policy added on. I think the seperate travel policy would be a backpackers travel policy. A standard policy would be limited to 60 days per trip max.
An alternative health insurance policy is VHI One Plan 500 @ price 760pa. Private and public hospitals covered on this plan, limited hi-tech covered
on this plan.
The VHI International plan may be the cheaper option to cover your situaltion without having to serve waiting times on your return.
