Visitors Insurance

My parents came to vist us and unfortunately my father fell sick and had to undergo a surgery. We had bought the best insurance cover from Oriental Insurance in India who are partnered with CORIS. We contacted CORIS before the surgery and were assured that all payments will be made to the hospital and the doctors on receipt of bills. Promptly after the procedure, we did send all the originals and sent a fax of all the docs to CORIS. It has been almost 6 months now, but havent got a single dollar from CORIS. We continue to get bills from the hospital and some of them have been sent to the collection agencies. It is very very painful to go through this. CORIS does not respond to calls, they can hardly speak English and they always refer to the claims dept which is opened only between 12 and 3 EST. If you are lucky to get across, they tell you that the payments are processed and payments will be made, but they are FULL of LIES ! They have done nothing so far.

Please buy a local insurance and save yourselves the pain.
