Scout around for an insurance company before committing with Bupa. I think Bupa is costly for the amount of cover you get. I'm now looking for a farang insurance. Better cover and not much more in price.
Keep us posted as to what you find please.

I personally would go to the hospitals, and ask them.....what insurance companies do you deal with, do you 'honor', that NO front money is necessary. Then go from there. That would, should avoid any problems when actually needing emergency care. Also once insured, register with said hospitals.

Medical Insurance is a minefield and as some have pointed out there are many checks that need doing before deciding.
Depending on the level required i.e. sufficient for the Private/International hospitals or just the local Government style one can discount many plus add into that the way the majority of Thai medical companies can drop you when they want shows there is more to buying medical insurance than any other type for insurance.
As the largest individual expat broker in Thailand we can offer all the local Thai companies plus we are fortunate to offer companies based (for example) in Europe, HK etc., which can offer foreigners far better cover than any Thai company and usually for lower premiums e.g. Allianz and AXA.

I have arranged small meetings in the past to discuss medical insurance and would be happy to do so again for anyone – or a group. Send me a PM or drop me an email : [email protected]
