Most people (especially ones who have good health coverage already but one that isn't on the list of the 15 approved companies) just get that 200K baht deductible policy from LMG to "tick the box" and show you have the mandatory 40K/400K out/in-patient coverage required.
It's basically a 'throw away' policy because you're going to pay the first SEVEN THOUSAND USD of any claim before the insurance kicks in BUT the premiums are low and once you're covered on it you can keep renewing it year after year with no age limit

Just like
@Frank *******
I got LMG, 200k deductible, to meet OA requirements and most likely will never have any other use for it. Cigna inpatient is my key insurance, but not certified for OA requirements - but that might change later this year. This image shows rates from about July of last year.

i am curious immi dept accepts deductible insurance as the reason given by the authority on compulsory insurance was that expats incurred and not settled large amount of medical bills (i don't know how possible) so how to ensure people pay up if large amount of deductible allowed?
Ken ******
and my insurance company is in immi list of insurers, it is cheaper than AXA CIGNA and almost all others in the list, some/most do not accept applicants aged over 65 or with pre existing undesirable health conditions

Falcon insurance meets the requirements. Cheapest one I could find for people over 65

Shady insurance just to get the extension

I came to Thailand in 2013 with the OA visa and there was no special compulsory insurance. Therefore I only took out insurance with APRIL for inpatient treatment (coverage $ 1,000,000) Since the end of 2019, a special Thai insurance has been compulsory, APRIL was not recognized. Just to get the certificate for the one-year extension, I then took out an actually pointless insurance with LMG. Cost per year (I'm 73 years old): 11,400 baht with a deductible of 200,000 baht.

Pacific Cross. I don’t remember doing a huge assessment but easy and cheap enough to deal with in English.
