We wanted to tell you about an exciting new benefit, Care Connect, now available to Irish Life Health members. This benefit aims to provide our members with access to specialist care programmes for a range of medical conditions.

Our first programme to launch under this new benefit is Heart Connect, with more programmes launching in 2023 and beyond. The programmes will be delivered by our partner provider Care-Connect.

About the Heart Care Programme

Around 90,000 people in Ireland are living with heart failure (HSE.ie). One of the most critical parts to successfully managing this condition is regular monitoring and prompt treatment.  This can be difficult with lengthy GP and hospital waiting times. The Heart Care programme will provide direct clinical support and remote monitoring for Irish Life Health customers with chronic heart failure.

This benefit is provided by Care-Connect and will be made available wherever Care-Connect can provide the service and where the requirements can be met on hardware and connectivity by the Irish Life Health member. Access and eligibility for the programme is subject to Care-Connect’s terms and conditions. A GP or consultant must approve member suitability and the member must also meet Care-Connect’s specified clinical indicators as set out in the Schedule of Benefits. Terms and conditions apply.
