Welcome to Irish Life Health

At Irish Life Health, prevention is at the heart of everything we do. With this in mind, we offer a range of innovative benefits, allowing you to take a proactive approach and lead a healthier lifestyle.

Metlife cover the cost of your Health Insurance as part of your benefits package up to Be Fit 2.

Metlife also contribute the following for dependant members:

  • 100% for a spouse/partner
  • 50% for children 
  • 50% for young adult dependants up to and including age 25

Any premium which falls outside of the above will be funded through salary deduction

Under Irish legislation, you will be required to pay benefit in kind taxes on your health insurance.

Please note that if you have a current policy in place with another provider, you must cancel this directly with that provider. Nobody else can do this on your behalf. Please call or email your current insurer to cancel your policy. We do not accept liability for any cancellation charges from your current health insurer.
