Health Insurance for My Elderly Parents
Hello, everyone. This is my first time posting. Pleased to chat with you all! My wife, parents, son, and me will move to Altea permanently in late May from California. We need advice regarding private health insurance for my parents. They are 83 and 82 years old, respectively, with no serious preexisting conditions, but they do have a few issues that typically come with age (such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, muscle spasms). We originally contracted with and paid DKV Seguros for health insurance coverage for the whole family, including my parents, but nearly six months after we submitted our applications and we paid them in full, we still don't have insurance certificates for my parents. According to DKV, the delay is due to their "age and health," which DKV knew about all along. I am now concerned that DKV will not insure my parents even though they haven't yet said "no." Do any of you have advice regarding obtaining private health insurance for a married couple in their 80s? Any brokers or companies that you recommend?
Thank you, in advance!
Vincent
