Travel/Health insurance for parents uk visit visa from india

[dhruv4500]

Hi All,

My parent's visit visa has been approved recently and we are planning to bring them from India.

However, I don't have much knowledge of the health/Travel insurance options.
I am looking for something that covers in case of hospital/NHS charges whilst they are here.

Can anyone share their experience of what insurance options are better and how much the suggested cover should be (100,000 ?)

Thanks

This is advice from the UK government.

Travel insurance

The government always advises visitors to the UK to take out travel or health insurance. This means that you can reclaim any healthcare costs you are required to pay from your insurer.

Check your insurance has the necessary healthcare coverage to make sure you can get the treatment you need during your visit.

Insurance is particularly important for those with a pre-existing health condition. You must tell your insurance company about any health conditions you have to make sure you can get the cover you need.

Speak to your doctor for advice before you travel and make plans for how to care for your condition when you are in the UK. You should also bring your health condition identification or a letter saying what medication you are taking.

You will need to pay up front for the full estimated cost of the treatment, so make sure they are fully covered to be able to get your money back.
