One of the companies says it's a consequence of continuing medical inflation and a levy charge announced by the Government
Two health insurance companies are increasing their prices from April.
Irish Life Health is raising the price of its plans by an average of five point nine per cent from the first of the month for new customers, and the next renewal date after that for existing ones.
Meanwhile Level Health has announced an increase of €48 for its advanced "B", "C" and "D" plans from April third.
This is Irish Life Health's second price rise so far this year, and says it's a consequence of continuing medical inflation and a levy charge announced by the Government for the Risk Equalisation scheme.
Dermot Goode, founder and leader of Health Insurance Ireland, has said that families could face an increase of €180-€330 for the year if they are with Irish Life Health.
Mr. Goode joined the Kildare Today show in late 2025, giving key tips to know when it comes to renewing or starting a plan.
