At Sheridan Insurances we appreciate how daunting the whole area of Insurance and Financial Services can be for our customers – deciding on policies, recognising when to switch from an existing policy to a new one – or simply knowing how and when to make a claim. To help our customers better understand their policies (be it domestic or business) we aim to post regularly – explaining simply and effectively the products and services already on offer as well as introducing any new protective polices we know will benefit our customers. Because protecting our customers is at the heart of what we do, we will also be covering topical news stories, relevant and industry-related, to help our customers stay informed.
Given the recent cervical scandal and the amount of medical negligence claims filed against the HSE in recent years we feel it important that our first blog should centre on health insurance. We at Sheridan Insurances have families too and share the same fears and concerns our customers have when it comes to illness and needing a second opinion. We all want to be around to enjoy and look after our families for as long as we can, and for us that means sourcing the best health care coverage on the market today. And for that kind of peace of mind it doesn’t get any better than Best Doctors.
