Through the Northern Ireland Planned Healthcare Scheme (NIPHS), patients living in the Republic of Ireland can receive medical treatment in Northern Ireland and claim 100% reimbursement from the HSE for approved surgeries such as hip and knee replacements, ACL repairs, gallbladder removals, hysterectomies, and more.

Importantly, you don’t have to be on a waiting list to apply, anyone can access the scheme once they have a referral from a GP or consultant.

New research commissioned by Kingsbridge reveals that over three quarters (76%) of Cavan residents have never heard of the NIPHS, meaning many are missing out on fast, fully covered healthcare just a few hours away.

“This data shows a major gap in awareness around cross-border healthcare,” said CEO of Kingsbridge Healthcare Group Mark Regan.

“With waiting lists still a huge issue in the Republic, we want to make sure people in Cavan know they can access excellent care quickly and get the full cost reimbursed by the HSE. It’s life-changing for so many families.”
