Buy a US based insurance. I didn’t this year and my Dad landed in a hospital. It would a financially catastrophic event if the hospital didn’t provide financial assistance to us.

Buy a 0 deductible, at least 500k coverage insurance. For both parents, it won’t be any more than 2k for a 3-4 month period.

Any recommended US based insurance ?

Buy inf elite or higher
I used it and covers or conditions too
It has tie up with uhc which is us based and will recommend to go for it
Most of the visitor’s insurance are below average overall

They can buy one from their home country. That will be cheaper and better coverage than buying in here.

I am not from India so I wouldn't know. You can easily google it.

Also, if you choose to buy insurance from India, make sure it includes covid coverables

We bought via Insubuy platform. Was not expensive

Ey3 any recommendations on where to buy from?

INF elite is the way to go. They cover with preexisting conditions and actually work. You get what you pay for.
