VHI grows membership and revenues

Health insurance claims rise but remain significantly below pre pandemic levels

The VHI said the surplus for 2021 was an increase on the previous year of €52.7m and was largely driven by "strong membership performance."

Ireland's largest health insurer VHI recorded a surplus of €65.3m last year as it grew membership for the seventh consecutive year.

The State-owned firm took in just under €1.6bn in premiums and paid out €1.3bn in claims. Income from insurance products and services other than private health insurance amounted to €26.2m.
