Pacific Cross was Earlier a catastrophe and could charge up to 120% higher premium if you used them. But they changed their policy abolishing the extreme individual charging scheme getting more in line with others. However, they are not the cheapest alternative and the premium accelerate quite much at higher ages. The cheapest alternative is today WR-life.

Pacific Cross. Decent and comprehensive. But should you have any pre conditions can be problematic. Watch out for waiting periods and exclusions. Pacific Prime were not the best Broker to be fair. Do NOT try to arrange Thai Medicare cover while overseas. Use Travel insurance initially and use a reputable and recommended Broker within Thailand in person after arrival. Your Travel Policy allows that element of flexibility. Allow plenty of time the underwriting process can take far longer than anticipated.

John Kenealy Thank you! I do have insurance already, but my overseas company recently made some changes and it now only covers emergencies in Thailand. That’s why I’m looking for additional coverage

You've completed your research and made your decision 👍 but we don't know your circumstances and needs, so we can't judge your decision.

The important thing is that you are insured and have a reliable contact person.

regardless of who you choose, always be sure to have plenty of savings in case your insurance (even if expensive and company is based in Germany) preapproves your surgery and then denies your claim after you have the surgery and then says they will make an exception and pay your claim and then deny your claim again.
