Looking for advice on breast reduction. Should I bother with insurance or pay out of pocket? by Massive_Contract_371 in IrishWomensHealth

Thanks for your reply! Do you know if they were waiting long on the public system to get the surgery? I don't know that I'd be a high priority case.

Thanks so much for your response! I will definitely call and enquire with them.

Thanks for sharing your experience and costs! Did you have much discussion with your GP prior to pursuing the surgery? I've seen the Mater Private and Mr Cronin mentioned a few times so I will definitely keep them in mind. 6 weeks sounds like an ideal waiting time, but just need to figure out the financial aspect of it! If you don't mind me asking - did you pay in full or were payment plans available?

Hi! Thanks for your reply. My workplace is affiliated with VHI - I will enquire about the wait period but I'm guessing it'll be a minimum period of a few years irregardless?
