If parents are in KSA on visit visa what is status of medical care for them. Are they eligible for healthcare in MOH hospitals or they need private health insurance.

Maybe I did not understand this question.
but my understanding is that parents on visit visa are not covered and you need to pay for their checkups

Thanks @ pkmusd. Is there option to pay for private insurance for parents coming to KSA on visit visa.

Yes, as far as I know there are policies for non-Iqama holders (visitors). I thin your best bet is to check it out straight from the horse's mouth.
