20,000 + Households Use People Power To Help Unlock Special Health Insurance Offers

Last updated by David Liston on

In another big win for people power, The Big Health Insurance Switch campaign has succeeded in unlocking a cash back offer for health insurance customers in Ireland.

The cash back offer has been unlocked by the buying power of the 70,000+ One Big Switch Members base. One Big Switch are delighted to be giving a cash back to our members who switch to GloHealth . The cash back offer highlights include:

  • An individual who switches to GloHealth can receive up to €150, and a family of 2 Adults and 2 children can receive up to €320 from One Big Switch when they switch to the GloHealth Ultimate plan
  • There are a range of 17 plans that One Big Switch members can claim cash back for with a plan to suit everyone’s needs and budget
  • The cash back offer is in addition to the excellent value GloHealth offer including 50% off kids’ premiums on Net More 100 & Net Most 100.
  • This cash back offer is provided by One Big Switch and is only available for a limited time.

The cash back payments from One Big Switch come on top of GloHealth’s already very competitive range of products which also allow customers tailor their cover to suit their own particular needs. Consumers can view the offers at www.onebigswitch.ie.

Over the past number of weeks, 20,000+ households have joined the campaign to help drive competition in the Health Insurance Industry and by sharing value with members through cash back in the lead up to the May 2015 introduction of lifetime community rating.

Sarah Ryan, One Big Switch Director of Campaigns said “For the second time this year, consumers have come together in their tens of thousands to fight back against the rising cost of living in Ireland. This second successful campaign is a big win for consumers and consumer campaigning here.”

“This cash back offer which is paid to members directly from One Big Switch should help drive more competition in the Irish health insurance market, and help ease the affordability crisis. Anyone with health insurance, or considering taking it up should arm themselves with this offer.”

To see the cash back payment offer available by plan or apply for them, people must register, cost-free and obligation-free, for a limited time only at www.OneBigSwitch.ie

Unfortunately my health insurance ended early Jznuzry and I rrnewed. I believe in changing to save money. But many elderly people are afraid to change or apprehensive in doing so. It is hard to convince them. The civil you know ... Etc. could an article be written to show there is no problem in changing Giving the advantages and disadvantages. G. Dunne

Thanks for the idea! You are correct about some people being afraid to use their power as a consumer & vote with their feet. We're hoping to change that!

So I sign up and you leave everything to me - so what do you lads in onebigswitch actually do to ensure the new provider package is any good, better value than just calling GloHealth directly and the switch process works?

Paul Anthony - OneBigSwitch from D commented:

You should absolutely shop around yourself, as a consumer. We would 100% encourage it. OneBigSwitch.ie is about bringing people together & using that as, effectively, a collective bargaining tool. It's about "people power"!

Looking for family quote for Feb 1st, as tied in till then. Health Ins companies seem / are quite off-putting and dislike Big Switch users asking for discounts.

Paul Anthony - OneBigSwitch from D replied to Brian:

Coming together as consumers, & using that "people power" to unlock deals works out for everyone, including our potential partners; they gain new customers!

Paul Anthony - OneBigSwitch from D replied to Mona:

That's a part of an individual package, with specific needs, & that's a matter for your health insurance provider directly. Sorry we couldn't be of more help.
