pop3 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I'm in the process of looking to replace my current health insurance and I've been offered help from Pacific Prime , Has anybody had any dealing with this company good or bad ? Although it seems to be a large company with an address in Bangkok information about them seems to be very vague , thank you in advance for any help you may have .

Puchaiyank Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Spent $300 of my own money getting a vigorous Pacific Prime "required" physical...lab work, x-ray, interview with doctor. I thought all went well...submitted my medical report and received a letter back saying that although I did not have any serious issues they were not going to insure me... Now if I want insurance I have to admit I have been denied healthcare insurance...not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Would love to help you, but they seem to have some website issues: " Error 1015 Ray ID: 5078768759cd49d7 • 2019-08-17 03:11:50 UTC You are being rate limited What happened? The owner of this website (www.pacificprime.com) has banned you temporarily from accessing this website." They seem to be an insurance broker, so Puchaiyank may be confusing them with an insurance company with a similar name. Judging from what I can see they seem to be Singapore based, with since you mentiuon that maybe a Bangkok office, so I'm not sure they are allowed to offer Thai insurance companies since they may not meet Thai requirements.

pop3 Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Sorry for the late reply Ive had internet issues , Yes it don't seem to be too good , I asked a question about - Excess / deductible per person - Their not clear about it but it turns out there's a 30/35% Co payment on all medical expenses ! So if they are offering to pay 100.000 baht for a certain procedure they are in fact only paying 70.000 . Pacific Cross have the same only shown in the small print right at the end of your policy .

I have had a policy with Pacific Cross for almost 30 years. There is no co-pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order for you to have had cover declined you would have to have completed an application form for an insurer, not Pacific Prime. Are you sure that you're not referring to Pacific Cross, Bangkok, which is an insurance company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you applied to an insurance company through Pacific Prime and the broker was advised by the insurer that they couldn't offer cover for you. Prime would then have had to pass the bad news on to you. Whatever the outcome, it was not the broker's fault that an insurer considered you a bad risk and our paying out for a medical examination is a risk that we all take on a personal basis when we are older.

undercover Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 It seems with any of these insurance / assurance policy's you need a team of lawyers to go through the small print with you . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
