CompanyCare Starter is one of QUINN-healthcare's newest scheme. As well as cover for half of your everyday medical expenses CompanyCare Starter also gives you cover in public hospitals and in a specially selected range of private hospitals.
Please note that if you are taking out health insurance for the first time, while you have immediate cover if you have an accident, waiting periods will need to be served before you can avail of full cover.
If you are transferring from another health insurer and have already served these waiting periods then you will not have to serve them again.
Also introducing Consultant Connections, a new support service for QUINN-healthcare members and their doctors. Click here for more.
