I am considering getting a health care insurance policy and would like to get some advice regarding pre existing conditions. I don’t have any looming health issues, but have collected a few pre existing conditions. Not going to go into details online for obvious reasons. Are pre existing conditions excluded forever or just in the first year? Is the premium reduced in that first year because they are excluded. Is there a guarantee of renewal after the first year/ trial period when the exclusion is no longer valid. I hate to waste money on premiums for coverage I won’t be afforded now or in the future. Appreciation for any advice before I meet with an agent. Examples/experience with various policy types etc. - thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
When considering health care insurance in Thailand, especially with pre-existing conditions, it's important to understand several key points. Pre-existing conditions are often permanently excluded or excluded for specific periods, depending on the insurance provider. Many insurers may not adjust premiums based on pre-existing exclusions. It's advisable to consult experienced insurance brokers or agents who can clarify the terms and help you find a suitable plan. Others have suggested that while some UK-based insurers may have moratoriums on pre-existing conditions, this feature may be less common in Thailand. Additionally, obtaining multiple quotes and understanding the claims process are crucial, as some users have shared experiences of lengthy claim processes involving extensive checks.
