Irish Life Health Quick Overview

What Irish Life Health typically covers for autism services
Across many plans, psychology, OT, and SLT are reimbursed under day-to-day benefits. What you get back depends on your specific plan and Table of Cover.
Psychology / Assessment
Autism assessments by PSI-registered Clinical Psychologists are typically covered under your psychology benefit. Adult assessments (online) and child assessments (hybrid) both qualify.
Occupational Therapy
OT sessions with CORU-registered Occupational Therapists are covered under many plans as a day-to-day benefit — supporting sensory processing, daily living skills, and motor development.
Speech & Language Therapy
SLT sessions with CORU-registered Speech & Language Therapists are typically included as a day-to-day benefit — addressing communication, social interaction, and language development.
Reimbursement Structure
Usually a set euro amount per visit, or a percentage up to a maximum — with annual limits on combined visits depending on your plan. Check your Table of Cover for specifics.
Important: Irish Life Health benefits vary by plan. Your refund amount and annual limits are set out in your Table of Cover. Cover can change during your policy year — always check your own documents before booking.

Irish Life Health + AutismCare: Common Questions
It depends on your plan and Table of Cover — limits vary by scheme. Some plans offer a fixed euro amount per visit, while others reimburse a percentage up to a maximum. For assessments that generate a single receipt, you submit the full amount and Irish Life reimburses up to your plan's limit. Log into your Member Account to check your specific benefit levels.
Yes — Irish Life Health supports online claiming by uploading receipts in your Member Area. AutismCare's adult autism assessments are delivered online, and the key requirement is that your clinician meets their registration requirements (PSI or CORU) and your receipt includes all required details.
Usually no. For standard psychology, OT, and SLT claims, Irish Life Health's process is designed around paying the practitioner and uploading receipts — no GP referral is generally required. Check your Table of Cover for any special conditions that may apply to your specific plan.
Irish Life Health requires day-to-day receipts within six months of the end of your policy year. After that deadline, the claim will not be paid. We recommend submitting after each session or assessment — it only takes a few minutes through the Online Member Account.
