JustAnotherHun Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Most likely your insurance contract will have a passus that you release doctors and hospitals from the duty to maintain confidential. So if you give the reciept to your company they have the right to ask for the medical data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In European countries I would say "can happen", but if, then anonymized. In Thailand I would not be so sure your privacy is kept, but I don't know Edited February 1, 2022 by JustAnotherHun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soi3eddie Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 If an insurance company asks then you should supply the data. Very unlikely that it will be uploaded to any database accessible to 3rd parties without your consent or at all. If you don't tell the insurance company that you have health records then they will most likely not know. The insurance company may well ask you to undergo testing or to provide records (if they exist) as part of their policy terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 There is no central database that clinics upload to. But when you make an insurance claim you authorize the insurer to access all your medical records, anywhere, and insurers may search the records of multiple facilities if so inclined. Thai based insurers are particularly likely to do this as they tend to do pretty cursory medical underwriting (if at all) and instead wait for claims and then dig around to decide if the condition was pre-exisiing -- one of several reasons why I advise against Thai-issued policies. Be aware that concealing pertinent information can invalidate your entire policy, even if what was concealed is nto relevant to a particular claim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
