Visiting Parents Health insurance(existing condition)

[dreamchaser]

Hi friends,Can you please suggest any good health insurance for parents visiting US with existing chronic health issues?

Not worth it. Don’t invite them if it’s a big issue. They are better off in India if you want your parents to be safe and healthy. This might be an unpopular opinion. But healthcare in USA is very very bad. People are revolting against it. They have even killed CEOs of insurance companies. That is only one measure of their frustration.

Agreed, better to avoid to keep everyone at comfort. You can go and come back few times in that potential amount of money at risk. 

The high end plans on some of the visitor coverage sites look somewhat ok if trip is unavoidable but they outright demand too much. 

I had a pretty rough time with my cousin parents suddenly having BP and heart related issues here from eating food they are not used to. Especially non veg in India was a 1 or 2 day per week affair, here they got a chance daily and landed in trouble. My cousin had to shell out a lot of money, then spend additional heavy set money to take parents back business class and then spend a month in India until things got in control. 

Even desi doctors are super heart broken to give a $25 or $50 discount realizing insurance issues. Sachinollu million dollar mansions lo untaru kani heart is not worth a single $1.
