Just got my renewal from Laya for our Control 600 Connect policy. The annual cost has gone from €1183. to €1438.

The excess has also increased for everything.

These are the annual costs of this policy over the past 5 years per person.

Year 2020 €983.
Year 2021 €1054.
Year 2022 €1054.
Year 2023 €1183.
Year 2024 €1438.

If anyone has already done the groundwork on this please advise me of a policy similar to the Control Connect 600 either by Laya or VHI that is cheaper.

Our claims over the last 5 years have amounted to circa €600 in total for the two of us but our premiums have cost us €5712 x 2 =€11424.

We are both in our early 70's and have a GP card.
 
That must be one of the least expensive plans that has no shortfall for specified orthopaedic and ophthalmic procedures. And most of those plans have jumped similarly in price. If you want you can compare Laya schemes yourself on their website - just don't log in first.

However, at your age (which I am) I'd be looking seriously at increasing my cover rather than decreasing it. €1400 doesn't sound much for decent health insurance for over-70s. Mine is way more and worth every penny.
