Tips to buy Medical Insurance for your Parents



  1. Look for a Specialist Mediclaim Advisor: -  Look for an advisor who specializes in Health Insurance services and provides professional assistance at the time of claims. An advisor will also sound you on the background of various insurers as well as provide you detailed solutions. 
  2. Renewal Ceasing Age:- Look out for the Renewal Ceasing age in the Mediclaim policy. This is the age, when the cover will stop and would not be renewed. For instance, in case of Bajaj Silver Health, though it is a very good product, the policy ceases renewals at the age of 70.
  3. No Medical Checkup Options:- Generally, Medical checkups become mandatory for people aged more than 45. There are medical insurance policies available, which can provide covers from the age of 46 to the age of 69 years without medical tests. In case Medical Checkups are not convenient, one can look at these options.
  4. Declare current Health history honestly:- Note, any misrepresentation or omission of information in the proposal form regarding health of your parents can result in cancellation of the policy and exposing your parents without a Health Insurance cover. Please ensure all health facts are clearly mentioned.
