I’m 45, married with two children, and returning to Ireland after having lived in Dubai for the past 10 years. We need to take out good health insurance as there are some pre-existing conditions. We are totally confused by the number of plans, waiting periods and also the possibility of age loadings. Anon, DublinFor anyone taking out health insurance, there are two issues to deal with initially: age loadings and waiting periods. The good news is that because your family is returning to Ireland, and assuming they effect cover within nine months of moving here, no age loadings will apply.
