AVIVA, VHI, LAYA & GloHealth: Saving Money On Your Current Health Insurance Plan
How Do I Avoid LCR?
The easiest way is to buy your health insurance on or before 30th April 2015 or maintain it if you already have it, meaning you won't pay any additional loading, regardless of your age for as long as you keep it in place.
It also doesn't matter if it's paid for by you or by your employer on your behalf.
There's a real saving if you take out your first health insurance before you turn 35 or on or before 30th April 2015.
- If you're 34 or below, you won't have to pay any extra.
- If you're 37 when you first take out insurance, you'll pay 6% (3 years x 2%) extra for your cover.
- If you're 54, you'll pay 40% (20 years x 2%) extra.
