Looking for a medical clinic

[kingstonkid]

Hi, MSH my med provider willnot pay for claims through the hospital as it says it is outpatient and they do not cover it.

 

Therefore I am looking for a clinic in the Bangkok Pathum Thani area closest to the treatment I would get in a hospital.  the main concern is diabetes, cholesterol, and such.

 

But then again I will need blood tests and other check ups as I am getting younger and body is ot a perfect as it was lOL

Outpatient clinics in Bangkok are located in hospitals.

 

Your insurer will not pay for hospital admission. They will surely pay for outpatient treatment in a hospital outpatient clinic -- IF your policy includes optional outpatient cover. 

 

The issue is not the place of service, but whether the service is in or outpatient.  And whether your policy covers outpatient care. 

 

Usually with outpatient care you pay first then get reimbursed,  though may vary with insurer.

That was the way it was before the CDN government changed providers.  Now we have MSH and they have refused reimbursement for any outpatient treatment. 

 

It sucks for sure and will be interesting, but for now, if I want reimbursement, then I need to find a clinic that will provide most of what a normal doctor provides.

If they will refuse to reimburse outpatient treatment why would a stand alone "clinic" (virtually nonexistant in Bangkok) be any different? 

 

It sounds more like they simply will not cover outpatient care overseas.
