Do US passport holders need a visa when traveling to Cambodia from Thailand?

If you’re flying to Phnom Penh you can fill out the form at immigration, it’s done on a tablet, $30USD fee, be sure to have that amount in cash, Thai baht is not accepted.

Aetna will cover ER costs anywhere and also the costs if admitted for a hospital stay.

You dropped your Medicare coverage? What’s the cost of your replacement coverage?

definitely ER treatment and will cover if admitted to stay in hospital. Getting a regular check up, I haven’t, could be out of pocket since the Dr is out of network.

I think it depends on the prescription. I was taking a prescription med for cholesterol, I got 90 day supplies for free. I think it really depends on the medication, probably need part C for insulin. The US prescription is useless here, would most likely need to get an MD here to prescribe, then file a claim to get reimbursed .

Aetna accepts the cost set by Medicare, it’s automatically deducted from SS check, currently $174.10/month. I only have parts A & B, I’m not on any prescription medication.

I’m not officially living in Thailand, I’ve been here 6 months and just applied for the 3+12 month Non O. I don’t have any plans at this point to return to the US, that could change but it would be just a visit. My Aetna agent told me if I need any medical treatment go to the ER. I do maintain a physical address in US.

roughly the same, SS pays direct to Aetna, it’s the same cost based on my age for Medicare.

I get my Medicare coverage through Aetna, they will reimburse costs for ER treatment. If admitted through ER for a hospital stay they will also reimburse the costs.
