Hello, I’ve been following this group for awhile now and it has been so useful. I now have a question for anyone from America who uses Tricare (overseas health care program). Is there any hospital in Bangkok or Pattaya that will direct bill Tricare? I went to one hospital (Bumrungrad) but they said they couldn’t, but with doctor approval they could try and ask to direct bill. Thank you for your help.
TLDR : Answer Summary

They mention Bumrungrad Hospital's inability to directly bill but note that it might be possible with doctor approval. Comments from other users provide helpful insights, indicating that Bangkok Hospital in Chiang Mai does direct bill for Tricare, while BKK Hospital in Pattaya may only do so for inpatient care. Users also suggest contacting Tricare for a list of affiliated hospitals and checking with the billing department at hospitals for specific assistance.
