My parents are planning to visit Canada shortly and were shopping around in India for a company that provides health insurance for their entire trip. They're planning to be here and the U.S. for a duration of about 3/4 months.

One of the options they found there is ICICI bank in partnership with Fairfax financial holdings limited providing insurance through Lombard Insurance Co. (www.lombard.ca). This one seems to be a lot cheaper than the other ones. Anyone have any info on this or has anyone used this personally?

Also information on other insurance comapnies providing the same would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I did it through BCAA in Canada . It is good and is about 90$ a month and remember none of these cover PRE-EXISTING conditions .

Hi Smiley,

Do you have any phone number or website where I could contact them and get more info?

Also, what was the coverage threshold? Did you or your parents have to ever avail their services and if yes, how was it?

Thanks in advance.

But that seems to be only applicable for residents of BC.

BL,
What were the rates offered by ICICI in India?
thanks
