VHI will now impose an upgrade waiting period of up to 2 years for new conditions. Previously, upgrade waiting periods only applied to pre-existing conditions. Aviva & Quinn continue to offer NO waiting periods for NEW conditions on upgrades. We would strongly recommend that you make contact with your insurer in advance of any treatment to ensure that you have the cover for what you think you have. Families availing of ½ price or free kids or indeed anyone temporarily downgrading their cover with VHI need to be aware of these new unwelcome waiting periods.
