Product Benefits
QUINN-healthcare's HealthManager scheme covers you for half of your everyday medical expenses and also gives you cover in both public and private hospitals.
Quote me for this scheme
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.
Hospital cover
Members of the HealthManager scheme are covered for a private room in public hospitals and a private room in private hospitals. The HealthManager scheme includes an excess per claim for private hospital charges. This means that you will be required to pay the first €50, €125 or €200 of your hospital claim depending on the hospital you choose. This is not a per day charge, you will only be asked to pay an excess per claim.

EU Cover
If you require treatment that is certified by our medical adviser as unavailable in Ireland, we will provide cover if we arrange treatment in one of our participating hospitals in the EU.
Overseas Cover
Members of the HealthManager scheme are entitled to emergency overseas cover. If you have an accident and need inpatient treatment while abroad you will be covered for emergency local treatment up the value of €65,000 per episode. Repatriation to Ireland or the nearest medically appropriate country is also covered if treatment is not available in the country that you are travelling in.
QUINN-healthcare members receive an emergency overseas 24-hour assistance number. This number must be contacted prior to any emergency treatment.
This overseas cover provides a certain level of cover for emergency treatment that may be required while overseas temporarily and therefore is not a substitute for travel insurance.
Also, as an Irish resident you are entitled to get healthcare through the public system in countries of the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland if you become ill or injured while on a temporary stay there.
Until now, you needed an E form ( such as the E111 or the E128 ) to get such treatment. Now, these paper forms are being replaced by the European Health Insurance Card. One c ard is needed for each individual or member of the family.
