No Vishal, You can't buy mediclaim policy for you but you can buy it for your parents if your parents age is greater than 60. You can also renewal senior citizen policy after the age of 69.

So advantages of the senior citizen mediclaim are unlimited.

I’ve been following this thread because I went through the same confusion while arranging a mediclaim for my parents. On paper, many senior citizen plans look reassuring, but once you dig in, things like co-pay, room rent limits, and disease-wise caps start changing the picture. Premiums also rise fast, so choosing blindly can be risky.

What helped me was stepping back and understanding how strong the policy really is for today’s treatment costs, not just the brochure promises. I recently used BimaScore and Bima Analyze for my own family. Without uploading documents, it evaluated our policy across many real-world factors and gave a clarity score between 400 and 1000. That made gaps very obvious, especially for seniors.

I’m not saying it replaces advice, but it helped me ask better questions before committing. If it helps, you can check your policy clarity here: https://bimascore.com/a8lmv6
