Things You Should Keep In Mind While Buying An Insurance Policy For Your Mother

Health Insurance Exclusions

You must certainly enquire about the exclusions. The policy wordings should be carefully read and analyzed. Many insurance companies do not cover pre existing diseases and it is advisable to check the details regarding the same.

Adequate Amount For Health Cover

Health care costs increases considerably with age. An adequate sum assured should be considered while buying a health insurance policy.

Waiting Period For Pre Existing Diseases

Waiting period is an important factor which should be analyzed. The insurance companies which cover pre-existing diseases have a stipulated time, i.e. the waiting period after which the disease is covered. You might want to opt for a cover which has the least waiting period.

Renewable Age

Many insurance companies do not allow renewal of policies after an age of 75. Thus it is important to keep your mother’s age into consideration for opting for a cover.
