VHI to refund €423,000 to members

UP TO 11,500 VHI members are to be repaid a total of €423,000 after it emerged the company hadn’t fully refunded customers for treatments.

The VHI has ordered Arthur Cox Solicitors to complete an independent review into how the underpayments were made and why they weren’t addressed.

Yesterday, it began issuing repayments, with interest, to patients on Plans A and B and Option A and B, who spent time at the Mater Private and Blackrock Clinic in Dublin.
