Expats health insurance

For the last five-plus-years, I've been using an outfit called BUPA.

It pays 100% of my physician, hospital and meds. I've NEVER had a charge denied, or even questioned.

Unlike your current plan, it covers emergency treatment outside of Thailand.

COST: I know there are less expensive coverage available in Thailand, but I would doubt any are better.

note: I pay less here than my co-payment in the States.

Hi,

you should contact our partner https://www.expat.com/en/insurance/asia … d/bangkok/

I also use BUPA Thailand and have no complaints thus far but then again I haven't been sick.  Because I have not made any claims I get a 10 percent refund at end of each year. 

I think you have to be a full time resident to obtain BUPA health coverage but they do have a policy good for max of six months for visitors to Thailand.

Just google search for bupa Thailand for details.

Or you could get travel insurance that provides health coverage when traveling outside US. If you choose that option make sure you ask how long you can be outside US and be covered.  Some policies only cover for 30 day trips.

Thanks all for your suggestions. Bupa seems to have good recommendations. I have already contacted them. They were very quick in their response. I am going to follow up with them after the long weekend (Labor Day in the U.S).
Thanks again,
Shawn

Just wanted to share a positive experience with Bupa Insurance. Before, I could even call them, they called me right after the Labor Day holiday. Person who had emailed me earlier had called to follow up. After explaining the coverage, he transferred me to an underwriter.
I ended up purchasing the policy in quarterly increments right over the phone. Premium is under $500 for a 3 month period. I choose a hefty deductible of $1700 for any major incident, to keep my premium low.
So far, I am happy with the efficient and professional follow up I have experienced from Bupa.

That's terrific!
