My father is a BP patient with controlled medication for the last five years. Does it fall under pre-existing medical condition?

[vivekrawal]

If the medication has not changed over a stipulated period of time (varies from company to company), it may not fall under the category of pre-existing medical condition.

I specifically checked for this with most of the leading insurers in India. It is not covered

Unfortunately most insurance companies offering travel insurance excludes coverages related to pre-existing medical condition
