Control the cost of your health insurance with ‘Create Your Scheme’

 ‘Create Your Scheme’ is driving sales and offering flexibility and value for Irish consumers

Thursday 1st May 2014: Laya healthcare, Ireland’s second largest healthcare insurance provider, has revolutionised how health insurance is purchased in Ireland with ‘Create Your Scheme’. The innovative solution allows consumers take full control of the cost of their health insurance. By simply picking the level of cover required and the amount they wish to pay, ‘Create Your Scheme’ delivers a healthcare insurance policy tailored to individual needs and budgets. Members have three options to consider the level of hospital cover they want, the level of in-patient excess they are prepared to pay in order to reduce their costs and the out-patient cover to suit their needs.

Since its launch in December 2013, ‘Create Your Scheme’ has led the way in changing how private health insurance is sold and has now given consumers control over the cost of their policies.  Developed in response to market demands, ‘Create Your Scheme’ has proven hugely successful, accounting for over half of laya healthcare’s online sales.

The flexible options start from just €463.29 per year.  This includes a 10 per cent online discount currently available on all ‘Create Your Scheme’ plans when bought online.

Laya healthcare has always emphasised the need to deliver the best levels of care and choice for all its members.

The difference between our solution and others on the market is that laya healthcare continues to include, at no additional cost to the member, specialist cardiac procedures as a core benefit on the majority of the solutions.  Members can also choose an out-patient level of cover that suits their needs, regardless of their in-patient cover.

Dónal Clancy, Managing Director of laya healthcare, commenting on the success of Create Your Scheme to date, said: “With ‘Create Your Scheme’ we are putting control in the hands of consumers so that they can now select the level of cover they want as well as the cost they wish to pay. This innovative solution has already proven successful and is a clear indicator that this is something that members have been looking for in order to manage their health insurance needs. Through ‘Create Your Scheme’, we are opening the door for new and existing members to access quality health insurance at a price affordable to them.”
