Is there a such thing as a 5 years DTV medical visa for medical treatment in Thailand. I'm searching for a the best specific cancer specialists to work with my doctor's in the USA. So I will need to travel back and forth twice a year
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.
Hello, what is your experience with soft power medical DTV? Every two months I undergo treatment with biologic medication in the university hospital in Thailand.
Just had a quote off Staysure travel insurance for 184 (maximum) days cover for 70 y/o in thailand,£809,.price was including a 20% discount for the basic cover and with no medical conditions,.£4 p/day for peace of mind not to bad.
In BKK: I asked my expat doctor (could only talk to the staff) of over half a year if they could give me 5 - 6 appointments over the course of the next 12 months. And then just provide a Letter stating those treatments.
They answered: We're generally open to do this but have to talk to our lawyer first?!
Do you have any advice? It's a real and fair thing I regularly am at this doctor for treatment(s) and thought it would be a simple thing.
2. Alternatively: is there a doctor/ clinic that is a little bit better when it comes to treatments and a Letter about those future treatments?
Any BKK recommendations? Because I don't care where I eg get my regular testosterone blood checks done.
