Preceding this with, yes I'm lazy, but

What insurance have people been getting if not AXA?

Or is Axa's price and conditions comparable to other companies?

Looking for a 3 month policy.

Safety Wing. For me it's only $40 USD/month, and it works for the $100k COVID coverage. I've only heard good things from other people who have reviewed it.

Seems odd to me that insurance is the same for vaccinated, not vaccinated, and does matter which vaccine. If some are more effective than others and any is more effective than none, shouldn't risk affect cost?

For Luma Thailand Pass, premium only differs depending on duration of coverage. The same duration has the same premium for all ages from 1 to 74 years old.

If you read the Luma policy, if you get covid without symptoms, then there is no cover.

I work for Luma and would like to confirm that asymptomatic covid positive cases are covered.

@Xaynaly *************
so why would the policy received by Dick state different? Also the summary I got from broker is also same. Has there been a recent change can you share the legal document? FAQ on a homepage doesn't help people when they claim or is in dispute with Luma :)

If you look st the summary of coverage page, remark 2, at the bottom states "the expenses for quarantined with no symptoms or treatment is not covered under this policy"
