VHI, Ireland’s top health insurer, has made a significant announcement affecting thousands of its customers. The company has decided to discontinue several of its popular and pricey health insurance plans. Among those being phased out are the Health Plus Extra plan, Health Plus Access, Health Plus Excess, and Health Access.
Starting May 1, these plans will no longer be available for new subscribers, and existing customers won’t be able to renew them. This decision will directly impact approximately 150,000 people who have relied on these plans for their health coverage over the years.
VHI, boasting 1.1 million customers, holds a dominant position in the health insurance sector in Ireland. With this move, affected customers will need to explore alternative plans to ensure continued coverage for their healthcare needs.
This development underscores the evolving landscape of health insurance in Ireland and prompts affected individuals to promptly assess their options to secure suitable coverage moving forward.
