Is health insurance available for someone who was diagnosed and treated for cancer 4+ years ago?

Most insurers exclude cancer as a pre existing ailment and can reject your application for insurance,

However star has lately launched a product for cancer patients where individuals with cancer as a PED can apply, there are if& buts surrounding it to the extent they cover people incase there is a recurrence of czncer in the future & it comes with a copay of 10%

Dear Pratik

Yes , there are products as recommend by Pankaj and Satish.

However , I recommend to create a medical emergency fund rather depending on insurance .

If possible ask for RS 100 lakh cover with Rs 10 lakh deductible.

Make an medical contingency fund of Rs 10 lalh .

This way , you will buy cover for a very low price and have a security for high cover .

Best wishes
