Gentlemen,

discussing the problem  who pays in case a Lao citizen in Siam would suffer from a serious health problem like f.e. the much sought after cancer. Cost money too mut I guess.

Madame Pam tells me she does have a sort of accident insurance but no such insurance that would cover hospital bills, operation etc should the situation arise. She further tells me it would cost 8000 Bht but could not specify within what time and what the company pays in case.

Does anybody have a guideline or maybe a recommendation how to proceed.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

No clue about accident insurance but I use health insurance from Aetna (formerly Bupa). I've got the 2nd tier coverage for in patient care only (i.e. I need to be admitted in order for the insurance to cover the procedure). This costs about 14K/year. Cost is based on age.

Sanuk!
