What use is Health Insurance

Health insurance is used to pay for private care in hospital or from various health professionals in hospitals or in their practices. The arrangements vary from one company to another but most companies have agreements with hospitals that the company will pay the hospital directly. In general, you pay the health professional and then claim from the health insurance company. You should check with your own company as to exactly what procedures they use

Minimum level of benefits in Ireland

At present, companies that are offering cover for in-patient hospital services must offer a minimum level of benefits. They must provide a minimum level of cover in respect of:

* day care/in-patient treatment
* hospital out-patient treatment
* maternity benefits
* convalescence
* psychiatric treatment and substance abuse.

The minimum accommodation level is semi-private in a public hospital. If you would like to receive a health insurance quote, click on our links above and browse the plans which best suit you.
