Hi,

I would like to inquire on what plan should I get for an health insurance. I am 33, non-smoker, no health issues, never have seen a GP. I just want a health cover in case of emergencies as I frequently travel abroad. Also, plans with fertility would be a great factor.

I was looking into VHI Nurses Plan as what my colleagues recommended but paying around 145€ per month is a bit high for me.

Thank You.
 
Hi Chean08,

Welcome to AAM. Nurses Plan is an over-priced, not great value plan so you are right to shop around.
The following 3 plans are worth considering, including fertility benefits. Details as follows;

1. VHI Company Plan Plus Level 1.3; price 1193pa; all public, private and 3 hi-tech hospitals covered, private/hi-tech excess 150 per admission
and day case excess 50 per procedure. Good day to day cover included, refund of 50% for gp visits, consultants, dental, optical etc. Fertility benefit
included.

2. VHI PMI 07 10; price 1240pa; all public, private and 3 hi-tech hospitals covered, private/hi-tech excess capped at 150 x 1 max per year for all
admissions. Day case excess 50 per procedure. Good day to day cover included, refund of 50% for gp visits, consultants, dental, optical etc.
Fertility benefit included. (note; Whitfield Private hospital Waterford, and Kingsbridge Private hospital Sligo not covered)

3. VHI PMI 40 15; price 1108pa; all public, private and some hi-tech hospital cover, private excess 75 per admission, day case excess 50 per
procedure. Very limited day to day cover on this plan, fertility benefit included.

Nurses Plan is not good value for money for the price, tell your colleagues to check out the following 2 plans, with extra day to day cover.
VHI PMI 07 10 or VHI PMI 38 14.
