laya healthcare reduce premiums to make healthcare insurance more affordable
30 June 2014: Laya healthcare, Ireland’s second largest healthcare insurance provider, has cut the cost of some of its most popular products to ensure members have access to the best value health insurance. The premium reduction of up to 30 per cent ensures health insurance in the Irish market remains affordable.
Effective from 1st August, members who create a policy tailored to their own needs can avail of a price reduction that will range from 10 to 30 per cent for adults and children. In addition to the price reduction on ‘Create Your Scheme’, laya healthcare is also reducing the adult rate on five other products by up to 22 per cent; Essential Connect, Essential First, Essential Connect Saver, Essential Starter and Essential Plus Excess. These price reductions will also come into effect from 1st August 2014.
‘Create Your Scheme’ is a revolutionary way for Irish consumers to buy health insurance, allowing them to take control of the cost of their health insurance. Consumers can build a policy around their individual needs by considering 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 been hugely successful and now accounts for over half of laya healthcare’s online sales.
“Our promise to our members is that we are looking after you always. We are continuously striving to do that in every way possible and we are now offering major reductions on our most popular products. Laya healthcare is absolutely committed to providing best value, affordable health insurance solutions to our nearly half a million members” said Dónal Clancy, Managing Director of laya healthcare.
Following the price cuts, consumers will now pay as little as €44.18 per month for an adult and €12.49 per month for a child for health insurance cover with ‘Create Your Scheme’.
Laya healthcare is also cutting the cost of cover for kids by 50 per cent on the Essential Connect Family product. The offer, which runs from 1st July until 31st October, now means that kids and students can be covered for just €13.21 per month.
