VHI customers to see premiums reduce by 5.5%

The country’s largest health insurer is cutting premiums across plans that cover 90% of its customers.

Prices will fall by an average of 5.5% across 62 of VHI’s 82 plans from March 1. Reductions will range from 2% to as high as 10%.

Most of the company’s 1.1m customers are covered by those 62 plans but the reductions do not apply retrospectively or to customers paying by instalment — so only those renewing plans will benefit.
