Health Insurance Ireland– why is it important?

Why do we need health insurance in Ireland and what do we get back out of it? There are many benefits and reasons why we should have health insurance. One hugely important reason that we should take a health Insurance policy out is to save on medical costs especially in the current economy.
With many people cutting back on products like health insurance they should strongly think about the Medical costs in the event of having to obtain hospital treatment.  These medical costs can often start at a small amount but with hospital treatments they can often run into the thousands. 16,000 people in Ireland have cancelled their health policies since the start of this year alone. What impact would it have on them financially if they had to pay medical costs of €20,000 for hospital treatment?
Health insurance is essential not only is it saving you money if something  unexpected happens to you or a family member it offers complete peace of mind.
Many other Benefits of health policies Include:

• Refund on portion of GP fees paid
• In-patient treatment
• Out-Patient Treatment
• Cover for private and semi private hospital accommodation
• Maternity Benefits
• Cover for Treatment abroad
• Cheaper Travel insurance: some insurers take this into account so it will save you money in the long term.
