90% will seek better insurance deal

A survey of people’s health insurance plans for 2014 show that almost 90% will try to seek out a better deal as they realise they are getting no savings from loyalty to their existing policy.

According to Dermot Goode of healthinsurancesavings.ie, consumer loyalty is abating as people realise all members on the same plan receive identical treatment regardless of the length of time insured.

“There is no “no-claims bonus” and no account is taken of the policyholder’s loyalty to a particular insurer,” he said.
