Caitríona Redmond: How to renew health insurance to get the best-value plan for your needs

Caitríona Redmond: 'My best advice before purchasing or renewing health insurance is to write down a list of your healthcare needs. A couple in their 60s is unlikely to require maternity or fertility services, whereas a couple in their 30s may.'

They explained it was shortly due for renewal and as they and their spouse have specific health needs, they were wondering if there were any suitable alternatives or plans that may offer more benefits.
