During a press conference and launch today at the Royal College of Physicians on Dawson Street in Dublin today GloHealth announced its products to the waiting media. The company has released 5 plans in total and will compare with the other insurers in the following manner:
Vhi Healthcare have announced that they will increase the premiums of all plans in March 2012 by amounts ranging from 6 to 12.5%. Most increases will take place on 1 March.
Quinn Healthcare will increase their premiums by 6.5% on the 1 of March for individual plans and 3 March for company plans, an exception being Essential Starter, which will increase by 2.5%.
With increasing financial pressure on families to give up private health insurance the latest report from the HSE should be strongly considered before cancelling cover.
