When a person leaves his youth and enters old age, he has to face many types of diseases. In most cases, people become more sensitive in old age, after which the huge cost of treatment of diseases also falls on their shoulders. Due to rising inflation, people are not able to get their treatment done, so they turn to health insurance. In such a situation, this question arises in the minds of many people that can a person get his health insurance even after 70 years? Today we will tell you whether health insurance is possible even after the age of 70 or not.
Can you get health insurance even after the age of 70?
When your parents reach old age, they have to face many health related problems. This is an age where diseases easily surround a person, in such a situation, health insurance companies also withdraw their hands from insuring the elderly. Due to this reason, getting treatment becomes costly for people. But now the government has given a new direction to the health insurance of the elderly by changing the insurance rules. Many insurance companies present in the market provide health coverage to the elderly up to 65 years of age. But now there are many companies which are providing health insurance to senior citizens between the age of 55 to 80 years, while in many companies the age for taking health insurance is between 46 to 70 years. If you keep renewing the insurance policy from time to time, then it can give you coverage even after 80 years.
