My uncle, who is 40 years old, recently went through an open heart CABG operation. We had assumed that his public health insurance policy would cover the entire cost. We were informed at the last minute that only hospitalization cost would be covered with some conditions. Is there a plan that covers all the cost involved in such a complex procedure?

Yes- large numbers of products are available which will cover the cost involved in such a complex procedure. Your uncle will not be covered for this disease/ ailment under the new policies as now CABG is a preexisting disease. It is always better to buy right health insurance when you are healthy. It is not possible to buy right health insurance when you have a disease/ ailment especially like CABG. Your uncle has to be prepared for spending a lot out of own pocket.
