Families face €300 hike in VHI corporate plan

Some families will have to pay up to €300 more for private health insurance as a result of VHI’s decision to increase a number of its corporate plans from next month.

VHI Healthcare will increase 10 of its 37 corporate plans by between 5% and 11.2% — an average of 6.4%, from April 15.

Corporate price plans are available to all consumers, but are designed for companies providing insurance cover for their employees.
