Hello,any recommendations for health insurance for DTV holder on a soft power? I would like one where I don’t advance money and that covers well including hospitalization. Ideally not only in Thailand but also SEA or even better anywhere in the world when i travel.

I currently have a travel/nomad one but I have to advance the money each time and justify thoroughly after. Lately the universe decided to remind me, a little bit too much, that we can all die at any moment so I d appreciate if anyone has an advice on a good insurance that removes the stress of wondering if I will be reimbursed a 50k hospital stay for ex.

Thank you all 🙏🏼

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.

Travel Insurance: I'm looking for the best travel insurance for medical reimbursement in the event of emergency. I don't care about reimbursemet for all that other junk they throw in or even for trip cancellation, just the best medical reimbursement. One name keeps coming up: Faye. From what I can tell they are primary payor, so they pay first and pay directly to the Bangkok hospital of your choice. (Many other insurers YOU have to pay then they reimburse you whenever they get around to it). What I've done is entered my information and set the trip cancellation amount to as low as allowed ($1000) to get the lowest premium, and that gets me $250KUSD medical insurance. I was just wondering if anyone has bought Faye in the past or actuallly had to use them and what the experience was like. Thanks everyone. BTW lots of people say travel insurance is a waste and I used to be one of them until I ended up in Phyathai2 for 10 days from acute respiratory arrest. Try talking yourself out of that one with no insurance and enough cash for about 1/10 of the bill.
