My relatives are moving to SG for work and will be accompanied by their elderly parents (80+ yrs old). What's the most comprehensive health/medical insurance they could qualify for as seniors?

For some additional info: The elderly couple's health is pretty okay overall, but there is some history of heart conditions and the odd joint pain from old age.

Hi Anon,

I think based on what you just mentioned, I am unsure if they are able to purchase any health/ medical insurance at this point of time.

As Colin, mentioned you could look at being self-insured, and usually it's in the way of building up the current reserves. It can be via short term endowment plans or high yield bonds.

Your relatives are holding working passes? their parents can get the dependent pass....however like Hariz said...the last entry age is 75...

Global Health insurance like AXA is last entry age is 80 years old.

and also there is pre exisiting conditions of the heart and Joint pain problem... at the old age, underwriters have their guidlines to follow.

I suggest to self insured....cos they are not able to cover as they are past 75, secondly is their health conditions...

You can reach out to me how they can self insured.
