Psychiatry, psychology, medication reviews and therapy for ADHD and Autism sit under Irish Life's day-to-day benefits on many plans. Book with MindPath, upload your receipt to the Member Portal, and claim your share back - just mind the shorter 6-month window.
Day-to-day benefits are the everyday, receipt-based side of your Irish Life plan, and on many schemes they extend to the psychiatry, psychology and therapy that ADHD and Autism care at MindPath involves.
A structured, multi-stage assessment led by PSI-registered psychologists and UKAAN-trained clinicians. This is the specialist care your psychology or psychiatry benefit is designed to support. Delivered online, so it qualifies just as an in-person visit would.
A gold-standard ADOS-2 assessment led by PSI-registered psychologists, giving you a clear diagnosis and a personalised support plan.
A combined ADHD and Autism assessment for people who show traits of both, led by PSI-registered psychologists, giving you one clear diagnosis and one joined-up support plan.
Consultations and follow-up psychiatry for titration and repeat prescriptions with IMC-registered consultant psychiatrists, usually under your psychiatry benefit. Your Table of Cover sets the visit limits.
Work with IACP / ICP-accredited therapists on coping strategies, emotional regulation and daily routines - typically part of day-to-day cover.
For standard psychiatry, psychology and therapy claims, Irish Life doesn't generally ask for a GP referral. You pay MindPath, then upload your receipt online.
Irish Life gives you six months from the end of your policy year to submit - half of what VHI and Laya allow. Claiming right after each appointment is the safe habit.
Everything runs through your Online Member Portal: upload a receipt, add a few details, done. Here's the flow from first appointment to refund.
Pick an ADHD or Autism assessment, psychiatry appointment, medication review or therapy at mindpath.ie.
