Does anyone know about health insurance to enter the country if it really needs to cover $ 100,000 or is it enough to cover Covid enough?

I would like someone with real information not about rumors
Answer summary
To enter Thailand, health insurance requirements specify that the policy must cover COVID-19 and provide coverage up to $100,000. Not all insurance policies include COVID-19 coverage, so it is essential for the policy to specifically state that the virus is covered. Discussions among expats suggest that many are obtaining policies that meet these requirements, but prices and coverage types may vary significantly, especially for older individuals or those with pre-existing conditions.

so many people asking repeatedly the same questions, without it appears, having done a lick of Google or page search-- some are very clear and easy to find. I love the ones that ask the group for some "inside information " as if the thai or US govts whispered secrets plans to us that no one else knows ?

AXA Global Health Access (excluding the USA) cost me just over $1,600, and more than covers the required amount. Subject to age, etc.

Are any of these insurance companies actually verified ? My insurance company told me that Corvid was too new for a specific coverage on corvid.

The fact that making a Corvid specific insurance makes me but wonder if the real numbers that are being published are real case numbers ?

Keep in mind that so many scams pop up at a time like this.

What does the hospitals say ? what insurance are the hospital’s willing to accept ? or will it even be a hospital? could be some converted office building with cots that is the corvid treatment center?

or is this Corvid insurance in anticipation of tourist coming from the bubble countries of Japan, Korea and select mainland Chinese city’s ?

There seems to be no real checks and balances with this requirement.

Which makes one wonder does the government really want to get the tourism industry back and running again or will the Cambodia example be followed where that $3,000 USD deposit on top of the insurance requirement will do wonders with that tourism market.

It needs to cover Covid 19 (a lot of insurances don't, so it must specify it), and it must cover up to $100,000 US dollars
