Just had another look and Simply Connect Plus is attractive too. I especially like the 50% refund of dental fees.

Just thinking though - where else would you be getting an xray done potentially (that it's not covered)?

That's all X-rays wherever they're done. The Beacon, for example, charge €130 of which Laya refund half.

As far as scans are concerned, I had a CT done privately in my local hospital much faster than the nearest approved centre would have done it. Laya refunded half of the €280. I confirmed today that plan D would pay only €20.

But would that not be often done either as an in-patient (and covered under in patient cover) or in beacon A&E (and covered under emergency dept in private hospitals cover)

CT scans are covered in full - direct pay - with level health Plan D in lots of places including Blackrock, Bons, Mater, Vincents private. That would cover a lot of people.

This sentence jumped out at me while reading up as must renew this week. Anyway I had SCP this year and was very disappointed with the dental bit, I had an expensive appointment earlier this year, they only cover something towards cleaning I think under routine and emergency.

Anyway I had to go to a dentist with a toothache, long story short, they referred me for a root canal to a different dentist for that, after the consultation it was agreed to monitor for 6mths before deciding. It cost me €150 for the appointment but Laya said none of that was covered under SCP as basically they didn't consider it routine and it wasn't emergency either.
