David T Pike Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Are there any US Veterans here who have gone to any hospitals in Bangkok that direct bill FMP for you? Inpatient? Outpatient? I know that RAM and Bangkok Hospital in Chiang Mai will bill FMP directly for you, no payment required, as long as the bill is over 10,000 thb and you have your benefits letter with the disability being treated listed on it. The reason I ask is that I have been informed that several Bangkok hospitals would be the wisest to go to for spine surgery which I need. Thank you! ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I note that Vejthani Hospital lists U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs logo as a partner insurance but not even sure that is the same thing as FMP. I have never had much luck with FEP Blue Cross (but that is not listed) so have just filed myself. https://www.vejthani.com/patient-services/insurance-company-partner/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saraburi121 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Never read/heard there was a hospital in Thailand that would direct bill VA FMP. As I understand FMP you pay, send documents via mail and get check by mail. That is the way I have been doing it. Takes about 4-5 months for a paper check to come. From reading the information provided to me during retirement seminars a few years ago that was the only way. Things change of course. Still never understood how a US govt agency doesn't do direct deposit to my US account. If any US Vets have updated info on submitting FMP claims in Thailand please post.

Semper Fi As per OP, 2 hospitals in CM will do this (but only if bill is over a certain amount). What I do not know is if there are any in Bangkok which will do this. The constraint has always been on the hospital side not FMP. If a hospital is willing to do the paperwork (and does it satisfactoriiy) FMP will do direct pay.

Over 10k thb, they do it all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
