Frequently asked questions: Health Insurance for Parents in Puducherry
Can my 70-year-old parent in Puducherry get a new policy?
Yes. IRDAI has removed the upper entry-age cap. Expect a medical check, co-pay and higher premium, but cover is available for Puducherry residents above 70.
Which Puducherry hospitals treat seniors on cashless?
It depends on the insurer's network. We check hospitals near your parents' home in Puducherry before you buy.
What tax benefit do I get for insuring parents in Puducherry?
Section 80D allows up to Rs 50,000 deduction for senior-citizen parents, on top of your own Rs 25,000. The rule is national and applies in Puducherry.
Will pre-existing diabetes or hypertension be covered?
Yes, after the pre-existing disease waiting period, which many senior plans shorten to 12-24 months, provided the conditions were declared at proposal.
Can my parents get health insurance after 70?
Yes. IRDAI has removed the maximum entry age restriction, so insurers offer policies beyond 70, though with pre-policy medicals, co-payment and higher premiums. Options narrow as age rises, which is why buying earlier always costs less.
Why is there a co-payment on senior plans?
Co-payment keeps the premium affordable by sharing each claim. A 20% co-pay means you pay Rs 1 lakh of a Rs 5 lakh claim. Always model the co-pay against a realistic claim size before choosing the cheaper premium.
