Health insurance premiums really can be slashed

AS A RULE of thumb for health insurance, if you’ve been on the same plan for two years or more, or all the family are on the same plan, you’re probably not getting the best deal.” That is the opinion of Dermot Goode, health insurance expert and director of www.totalhealthcover.ie.
Health insurance is an area that confuses a lot of people, and with over 400 plans available in the Irish market, it is easy to see why people are baffled. There are so many variables within each plan it can be hard to make comparisons, and that plays a big part in putting people off switching plans. But Goode believes people should treat health cover as they would car or home insurance and shop around every year or two to check that they are still getting the best deal.
