Help me: Indian parents need Visitor Medical Insurance.

[smartindian]

hi folks,

sub: Indian parents need Visitor Medical Insurance.

I study in University of Calgary and my parents will visit Canada in April to Sept (165 days).
My father : 75 years old, had a heart attack in 2011 but stable from then. No hospitalization after that.
He takes regular medications (aspirin etc.) and will bring with him from India.
Mother: 61 years old, completely healthy.

I checked with "Safevisit insurance" and they asked my price of $ 1500 for my father and $ 1000 for my mother.
It is too expensive for me.

I already checked policybazar.com and getting similar price from "Religare insurance".
Kindly advice me any Indian insurance company which can cover their medical insurance.

suggestions pls.............




Best regards,
Rashmi

Check with AIG in India, I heard it is lot cheaper with good coverage and direct billing as well. My relatives got it from India before visiting here.

The price for the policy would depend on the amount of coverage and deductible you select apart from whether or not an applicant has stable pre-existing medical conditions.

You can see different coverage amounts and deductible option here - Insurance for Visitors to Canada

On average, given the age of your parents the price for the policy would be starting from around $1,200 with a minimal coverage amount.

Bear in mind that the prices you were given were for 1 year of coverage. Most policies provide you with refunds of the unused amounts if your parents stay for less than 1 year and don't make any claims.
