Health Insurance Cover in UK for Indian Parents

Hi

My parents going to visit UK. They are Indian citizens. Any advice on best medical insurance? I had bad insurance with ICICI Lombard and AXA Bharati in past.

Is it possible to buy the insurance from a UK company?

Thank you

Hello

You can go to comparison websites. Enter the details and they will get you a list of insurances with various terms and conditions.

Be careful as the constant care of insurance is to see how avoid making any payment. Usually they have a long list of exclusions. They don't cover chronic diseases, pre-existing conditions, long term treatments... etc. And this days, even Covid or anything related is also excluded.

Thank you. The price comparisons websites are for the UK residents and not for the UK visitors.

Also, the NHS website states - there is no COVID exempt for any visitor to Englad.

Remember the NHS is not an insurance cover - whilst you may be eligible for free COVID testing and treatment you would not get any support for repatriation flights or special medical transport and related costs, from the NHS or a private insurance company.
