Hi All,

I am planning to take Helath insurance for my parents?

Recently I got to know that from a Health Insurance customer care that ,if any diseases found after medicals tests for elders,the will not be covered under Helath insurnce sum assured.

Is it same for all health insurrance compamnies?

Under what conditions, existing diseases  will be covered for Elders?

Pls help with your answers.

    What do you mean by elders here ? Is it senior citizens ?

    If you are reffereing to very old citizens , then yes , all the preexisting desieases are not included , thats very valid thing from business point of view
