Laya bucks trend in health insurance market as members rise to 475,000

Laya Healthcare said it is bucking the trend in the toughest market for health insurance in decades by growing its customer base from 450,000 to over 475,000 members in 12 months.

The company revealed that it is on track to have created 100 jobs by 2015, with 58 positions filled in the past year in its Cork and Dublin offices.

To mark its first year in business, Laya has announced that it is giving away €100,000 worth of free cardiac screenings — vital, potentially life-saving screenings for people aged 12 years and over which can help detect underlying conditions that may lead to or cause sudden adult death syndrome — to sports and social clubs across Ireland this summer.
