An excess is the amount of money you agree to pay toward the cost of your medical treatment before your insurance policy kicks in and begins covering the remaining charges.
For example, if your health insurance policy has an excess of €500 and you have a hospital bill of €2,000, you would pay the first €500, and your insurance company would cover the remaining €1,500.
The Blackrock Clinic, the Mater Private and the Beacon Hospital are the only three high-tech hospitals in Ireland.
These are private hospitals with specialised equipment and they treat complex conditions including cardiac, oncology (cancer) and orthopaedic conditions.Â
There are three different types of hospitals in Ireland
- Health Service Executive (HSE) hospitals: These are owned and funded by the HSE.
- Voluntary public hospitals: These receive most of their income from the State. Voluntary public hospitals are sometimes owned by private bodies, for example, religious orders. Other voluntary public hospitals are incorporated by charter or statute and are run by boards often appointed by the Minister for Health.
- Private hospitals, which receive no State funding.
The public health system is provided through HSE and Voluntary hospitals. Most of these hospitals also provide private medical services but they must be able to distinguish between public and private care.
Private hospitals operate independently of the State health services. If you choose to receive medical care in a private hospital, then you must pay for the cost of this medical care, either directly or through your health insurance.
In a public hospital you do not have to pay for consultants services, but you do not a choice of consultant.
If you choose to be a private patient in a public hospital then you become the private patient of the consultant treating you and you must pay for those services.Â
Private hospitals are free to set their own charges. Your health insurance may cover some or all of these costs.
In the health insurance industry in Ireland there is the concept of Community Rating. This is a system whereby a person’s age does not mean they pay a different premium for their health insurance. However, there are a number of exceptions to this rule:
- From 1 May 2015, if you first buy health insurance at age 35 or over, an age at entry loading may apply to your premium. This is Lifetime Community Rating.
- Children – persons aged under 18, where the premium must be no more than 50% of the adult rate.
- The premium for young adults, i.e., those aged 18-25 may be reduced.
- Members of group schemes, where the premium may be reduced by up to 10%.
- Pensioners who are members of restricted membership insurers may have their premiums reduced.
