Trujillo Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 My yearly premium jumped 23,000 baht a year this year at Aetna (fka BUPA). I thought 68,000 baht was a lot, but 91,000 baht seems a rise too far. Can anyone suggest health insurance from another company that has some more reasonable rates and decent coverage?

OneMoreFarang Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 The premium depends on your age (group). If you are 80 then that's cheap, if you are 20 then it's expensive. How old are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 They do have a set price based on age my guess is you are in your 60ś. How long have you been with Aetna? The issue here is if you have a non accident claim for the first 2 years, they have a high percent of ¨existing condition¨ reject. So, if you have an established past with Aetna it is something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puchaiyank Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 You probably moved from one age group to another...premiums go up considerably as you age even without any health issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, mine just jumped to 133,000 baht a year!! Considered cancelling and tried others for quotes and even got a full medical for one insurer, but the conditions and exemptions in the policy made it a joke...........eg, never had a problem with my eyes or my back, but anything to do with these was excluded!!

Trujillo Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 I just turned 61, and yes, it's an age cutoff rise. I have been with BUPA/Aetna for over 10 years, without a claim. My question was what OTHER insurers are out there that people use and have confidence in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the one I tried was Pacific Cross and although less than half the price of mine, I found the exemptions too restrictive. May suit you though as that was just my opinion!

topt Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 OP maybe have a look at David Shield? http://www.davidshield-intl.com/pages/6.aspx or talk to a broker to get comparisons for specific cover. EG - https://www.aainsure.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarteso Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 A Good question Trujillo. I have the same problem like you but with AIA. 60y/o, and they will increase the quote more than 30% next year. ???? No see any solution. By now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
