Farangdanny Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 A teacher gets free medical cover for herself, husband and kids. Does anyone know if this includes new husband , marry after she retired ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thequietman Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I would imagine so, yes. When she got married isn't relevant. The policy covers the husband. I think. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconJohn Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I married a Thai national in the early 1980s. Because she was a nurse at a government hospital in Chiang Mai, I qualified for total healthcare including meds. About seven or eight years ago she retired and that would have ended my coverage if our eldest daughter, who is a C-7 civil servant at a government ministry in Bangkok, didn't transfer me to her health plan. The transition was seamless and I continue to enjoy a satisfactory level of healthcare at Maharat [Suan Dawk] Hospital Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wongkitlo Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 My stepson is a teacher with the government. My wife gets free health coverage with his policy. A friend told me I should get it too but I know nothing because I am farung. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Thai Social Security. The insurance for government civil servants does not have an age limit for their parents or spouses. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife, formerly a nurse in a government hospital retired several years ago yet her her parents and myself are still fully covered, a parent in ICU and I've had an MRT scan, no problems.

Outcomes for farangs vis-a-vis the Thai bureaucracy aren't always consistent. I let my wife and two grown daughters deal with officials whenever and wherever possible. When my wife retired they told me my coverage was ending, but that I could continue under my elder daughter's government health plan. I just did what I was advised to do at the time. No complaints then - or ever since - with healthcare in general here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has been in government service for over 25 years, but possibly "just" on labor contract, not on civil servant status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does she have paperwork saying you are covered. A friend said I could get coverage but my stepson would need to enrol me. My wife says I am not covered.

Your step son would need to go to the area education office and ask, do not accept what your wife says, get it checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a Thai wife? Not accepting what she says sounds dangerous but thanks.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
