Hi Tiggerdog,
Welcome to AAM.
Wife options
For yourself, I would recommend that you switch to Irish Life Benefit plan. Details as follows;
1. Irish Life Benefit; price 965pa; all public, private and Beacon hospital covered, private hospital excess capped at 200 x 2 max per year for
all admissions. Day case excess 125 per procedure. Limited day to day cover.
Husband options
For your husband, Benefit plan has the same hospital cover as 4D Health 1 plan, (except the day case excess is 125 compared to 75)
so it could be an alternative option to make savings without losing cover.
However, for the same price as 4D Health 1, I would recommend Laya Inspire plan. Details as follows;
2. Laya Inspire plan; price 1140pa; all public, private and 3 hi-tech hospitals covered, private/hi-tech excess 150 per admission, day case excess 50
per procedure. There is no excess to pay in any public hospital. Good day to day cover included, 50% refund for consultant visits, gp visits,
physio, dental etc which would be helpful for his ongoing medical expenses.

50% refund for consultant visits, gp visits, physio, dental etc - which would also be helpful for any ongoing medical expenses.

The above options best suited to each persons individual medical needs, as well as being best priced overall.
I know that potentially the family would be with the 3 providers, but it makes sense in the circumstances.
Best of luck with everything.
