Visitors health insurance for parents

[DiNand 0]

Hello,

 

My parents will be visiting me from India for a couple of months in the summer. I am looking to get a good travel health insurance (not just for visa purposes). They are both reasonably healthy (but do have pre existing conditions) and will likely not need medical care in the time they are here. However they are also older (73 and 63) and I want to make sure that in the event they need emergency medical care, we have reliable insurance. Ideally, I would like to have an insurance where the company makes the payments directly to the hospital and does not require us to submit bills for reimbursement. I am considering 2 options:

 

1. Europ-assistance.de 

2. ADAC

 

I see that there are also other german companies like HanseMerkur or Allianz (is this german?) that offer such insurance for visitors. Does anyone have experience with using any of these companies?

do your parents have an insurance plan that would cover them overseas in an emergency?

I know someone who has been using mawista for visiting relatives.

@Catjones - no they don't. They anyway need to get insurance for the Schengen area to even get a visa. 

 

@LeonG - I considered Mawista too but I saw some negative reviews about their reimbursement. 

 

I also saw that AXA has a policy for visitors.
