Thank you, that's very useful information. It's a Thai insurance company, basic enough cover I think, provided with my work here. Much less than what an international cover would provide.

Someone called me about a half hour after I left. ( not the doctor) No, just a simple meeting with the doctor. I already had an x ray and I showed it to him. ( It was from BKK Christian Hospital - which is the best value private hospital I've been to in BKK) but perhaps lacking specialist doctors in this area.... I feel like these hospitals see that you have insurance and put these crazy fees on. The problem is my insurance usually covers much lower prices and quotes. I feel like I will need to choose another doctor at a different hospital. Any other recommendations?

2,200 for a consultation. That's more than Bumrungrad... 2600 including nurse fee 260,000 baht quote for removing some calcifications in wrist. ( I think blocking the nerve, so no general anaesthesia) requres 2 nights stay at the hospital....why!? I asked to be seen as a local, not international, ( if that made any difference. Seems excessively high cost.

Bangkok please.

I have a bone spur or ganglion cyst (not sure which) on the underside of my wrist. I've had it for many years but recently it has caused a lot of pain as it seems to be on the nerve. Looking for a recommendation on a specialist surgeon as it's in a tricky location with nerves and artery. Thank you.
