ONMy parents ( Dad:63 yrs, Mom:60Yrs ) has Individual Health Insurance from New Indian Assurance taken 5 year back and 1 lakh coverage each. I pay around 8k annual premium for both. Now I feel this is not sufficient. When I enquired with new India they said, because age, i cannot do top up cover of increaring the Coverage and recently they have stopped senior citizen floater policy too.
Now I have started looking out for other insurance. I appreciate if any suggestion on the floater or individual for my parents. I am looking for min 5 Lakh for floater or 3 lakh each for invidual.
Max Boopa, Start and Appolo are the private insurar who can cover my parents and in public sector, Oriental Insurance has the floater plans.
Thank you, Prats

Hi Pratibha, as you mentioned in your question that your dad & mom are 63 and 60 years age respectively, I would recommend you to get critical care health insurance plan for them. I will suggest you to check with Chola MS health insurance “Critical Healthline Plan”, it covers critical illnesses as well as provides you covers ranging from 3 Lakh to 10 Lakh. I hope this plan work for your parents, as they are old age and they may face health issues in future. I hope it will work for you!

@ Pratibha, You can evaluate some health insurance schemes that are extended by Banks for their account holders. Eligibility is till 65 yrs. Corporation Bank, Syndicate Bank are some example banks that offer you these.
@Pratibha
For senior citizens National Insurance offers Varistha Mediclaim (Individual). But the cover is available for 1lac only.
Alternatively u can try Oriental insurance or united india insurance – they both offer cover upto 3lacs.
U can visit the following site to see the chart listing health insurance schemes available with price – http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/pf_insuranceschenes.cms
