Following in others' footsteps, I am taping into the wazua knowledge pool. Does anyone know of an insurer in Kenya that has a medical cover for persons over 60?

Exclusions I can consider but the most frustrating hurdle is the minimum age. All the ones I found (APA, Jubilee, CIC) have a maximum entry age of below 60.

I thought NHIF only cover bed charges where one is admitted and that is only up to 2k per night.

...Oh yeah...sure!

In govt hospitals, NHIF takes more than just bed charges as below!!!!

"Upon admission in hospital an NHIF member is accorded services and the hospital makes a claim to the Fund for reimbursement

An in-patient cover for the contributor, declared spouse and children

Provides comprehensive medical cover in majority of over 400 accredited Government facilities, Mission health providers and some private health providers across the country

Provides in-patient services in private and high cost hospitals on a co-payment basis
Comprehensive maternity and CS (Caesarian) package in government hospitals, majority of mission and some private hospitals

Dialysis at Kenyatta National Hospital & Moi Teaching & Referral Hospital at a rebate

Family planning – Vasectomy and Tubal Ligation
NHIF does not exclude any disease."

Thats the very same reason why NHIF shudnt be allowed to fail it can be a saviour to many...

the import of all this is that when you get to 60, you are on ua own .. if yu hv not made enough Mulla, then yu hv to rely on kina pastor Njoro to survive the rest of ua yrs on earth..
