The government charges health insurers a health insurance levy for every health insurance policy taken out. The levy forms a
set
amount of your health insurance premium and accounts for approximately 33% of your total premium.
Health insurance is the only comparison service we provide that comes with a fee. There are so many health insurance providers and policies out there (over 365 in fact!) that it’s virtually impossible to carry out a simple like-for-like comparison, as we do with electricity for example. To find the best policy for you, we need to learn a bit about your specific requirements and your existing policy, if you have one. So, we carry out a review of your current policy over the phone, at a time that suits you. The entire consultation costs €125, which is payable once the full review process has been completed.
The two final companies i’ll list below don’t offer health insurance specifically for students abroad. That said, they do offer international health insurance that will (most likely) be accepted by your school or university as proof of coverage. So here’s my advice to you: get a quote for these two companies below and compare it to the quote you get from the companies listed above. If you find that either of these two companies offers good coverage at a lower price than the other options, check in with your canadian school or university if they accept this type of policy.
Unless you are from the eu/eea, you must obtain health insurance during your time studying in ireland. If you have insurance from your own country, you must provide evidence of the extent of the cover (there are minimum cover requirements ) and that it will cover you whilst you are in ireland. Otherwise you will need to get irish health insurance. You can get a basic plan from study and protect. They have a list of universities that they partner with on their website. They also allow you to arrange insurance before arriving in ireland. If you want more comprehensive insurance, then get online quotes from the companies above.
