Thank you so much Patrick . I havent received the literature from VHI yet but I am sure I will soon. The one main worry we had was whether my Husband would have full cover for an angiogram in the Blackrock clinic with the teachers plan. he had to have one 2 years ago and VHI coverd the cost in full . The VHI man assured me the other day that with the teachers plan he will have the same cover for it as Plan B options. So thats why i was more than happy to change. Yes indeed we have had a massive saving with changing plans. Hope they dont increase the cost of this one too much next year. But can you or Nova Flare tell me why the Teachers Plan is so reasonable while they are increasing Plan B options so much?? when they have the same cover more or less?
Not necessary!
It would appear that Tressure is getting their policy with a 10% group rate discount which applies to most companies/organisations.
No quite true this is a discount that is available via teacher salary deduction and is not available to non teachers.
No. You won't get that price if you ring up, they won't discount it for group schemes. 10% discount is at the companies discretion as mentioned on previous threads.
Anyone can join it. Despite the title it's not just for teachers. All plans offered by health insurance companies must be available to everyone.
Yes scuby, as stated already above sunny. However the price quoted is most likely incusive of the discount. The 10% dicount for credit union members etc is available to everyone, online or otherwise.
Treasure is gettin a further 10% discount off the already discounted price. Most likey because she is a teacher paying through a salary deduction scheme. The €772.22 price already has the initial 10% discount included.

Best of all…Teachers’ Plan costs just €695* per year for an adult - student €250*; child €200*
* These rates are applicable to members who pay by direct debit though a new Vhi Healthcare group scheme called “The Teachers Group Scheme”. If you pay through your salary deduction, the rates are €772.22 adult, €277.78 student, €222.22 child
just to clarify the price and eligibility on the teachers plan. I telephoned today and the price is €772. To get the €695 price I would have to prove that I was a teacher. However when I asked could a friendly teacher include me on their policy I was told yes they could include as many people as they wanted on the policy regardless of relationship and they would get the super-discounted rate. Bizarre, stupid and discriminatory.....
