This question is for Mr. Shailesh Kumar of Insurance Samadhan
Few Days back You gave some information regarding Top Up insurance for Parkinson patinets. In continuation to that i have a query.
"If a person suffers from Cancer/ heart problems/kidney problems or any other major organ issues how can these problems related to parkinson disease?
As far as i know Parkinson is a Movement disorder which has both motor and non motor issues. How can the company rejects claims if the other health issues are not related to Parkinson disease ?
Pls clarify and guide me in taking further decisions."

Dear Ashok
I am not a Doctor to offer a correct answer but can try with my understanding :
1. Parkinson is a neuro disorder whichcontrols all organs . Thete is no treatment , it is only management. It increases with age .
2. Medicines of Parkinson like Syndopa has major sider affects which damages other organs .
3. Parkinson patients are very prone to accidents due to body tremors thus increasing probability of hospitalisation.
Due to these reasons , insurance companies avoid proposals of patients with PED of Parkinson.
Hope you are satisfied with answer .
