€3000 for health insurance good value?

    My parents are currently paying three grand as cover for themselves and two teenagers.

    They're on VHI One Plan(€1095 net premium) and kids on One+ Plan.

    From googling around I found Laya Simply Connect Plus suggested as an alternative, priced at €1,099 per adult.

    Does anyone know if this is the gross price or net price after tax relief?

    Anyone any other suggestions of better value plans?

    Thanks

    My understanding is that the prices include the tax relief.

    The trick with health insurance is to find the obscure plans with no marketing on them. Eg the nurses and midwives plan from VHI is pretty decent. VHI has another plan similar to it but has no orthopedic cover

    Generally if you phone up VHI and spend about 15 mins on about how you want to cancel as their plans are totally overpriced. Eventually they start suggesting cheaper and comparably plans. I spent 15 mins on the phone with them to find me a cheaper plan
