Question:

Pre-existing conditions definition Bit confused ab the pre-existing condition category!! Suppose someone didnt had any medical examination since an year and apparently is sound and healthy. He/she may still be suffering from some acute illness which could not yet be traced by previous medical examinations or symptoms or could have been affected only in recent year after the test. Do such illness be also declared pre-existing?

Answer:

Yes. Exclusion is for pre-existing conditions and not for pre-known or pre-diagnosed or pre-treated conditions.


The only comprehensive policy that's popular and seems to cover preexisting acute is Atlas. Is there any other policy that you recommend? Yes. Exclusion is for pre-existing conditions and not for pre-known or pre-diagnosed or pre-treated conditions.

Thanks for the timely info. I dont think Atlas is suitable for my parents then. I am looking for liaisoncontinentB or liaison International. Amazingly most people on forum recommended Atlas whenever there were dangers of stroke pre-existing conditions. Is this a new clause?
