Hibernian Aviva Renewal Quote (Health)

    Having been with Hibernian Aviva for 1 year, my annual premium increased by almost 15% (well in excess of €100 :eek:) despite making no claims.

    Has anyone else experienced a similar situation?

    Can anyone shed some light on this issue for me from your own experience maybe?

    Everyone pays the same for health insurance, regardless of whether you claim or not. VHI premiums went up this year too, don't know about Quinn but they probably did too.

    Yeah I'm aware of the fact that there are standard rate premiums but I was just stressing the point. How can they justify such a large increase in premiums???

    Now I know how they can afford to splash €40m on naming rights for Lansdowne road.

    Apparently the increase is a direct result of an 8 per cent increase in medical inflation as well as its rising claims bill.

    So there you have it - claims do matter after all... (collectively)

    Have a look at the Health Insurance Authority's website (www.hia.ie) to see if you can find cheaper equivalent plans. The HIA was set up by the Government as an independant monitoring body for health insurance and they have a cool comparison feature. Just make sure to take a few moments to read the questions you're asked as it will narrow down the options for you.

    probably due to the introduction of the health levy by the Government...... €160 per adult and €53 per child
