Popular Questions about Life and Health Insurance

1. What type of life and health insurance should I purchase?

Generally, there are 2 types of life and health insurance, including:

1) General life and health insurance

The benefit payment is subject to the specified coverage schedule. If the room expense, doctor fee, surgical treatment expense or other medical expenses that exceed the coverage limit, you need to pay for the difference by yourself.

2) Lump sum life and health insurance

Medical expenses will be calculated and provided within the coverage limit specified in the insurance plan you choose. In one year, you can receive treatment as many times as needed, as long as it does not exceed the coverage limit and the conditions set by the Company.

Furthermore, in order to select life and health insurance that meets your needs, you can also consider other factors such as the benefits you will receive, the covered illnesses or specialized care tailored to specific medical conditions. Taking these additional components into account will ensure that you receive coverage that aligns with your preferences and requirements.

7. What are the differences between lump sum insurance and regular insurance? Which one is better, and how different is the premium charged?

• Insurance with Lump Sum Benefit 
  The product is easy to understand as it provides comprehensive coverage for all items with the coverage limit. Premium of this insurance is higher than that of the general insurance.
• General Insurance with Hospital & Surgical Benefit
  If you have a limited budget and you have existing welfare or health insurance, you may choose to purchase this insurance as the premium is lower. However, the coverage will be separated into items such as daily physician visit fee, surgeon fee, anesthesiologist fee and operating room fee. There may be additional expenses if the items are not in line with those specified in the policy.

8. I would like to purchase insurance for my boyfriend/girlfriend; however, he/she used to have herniated disc, and received treatment with medication and physical therapy. Will the insurance cover this illness?

For those who have a record of illness that is completely cured, it is possible to apply for insurance by providing a clear medical treatment record. The Company may request additional treatment records for further consideration. It is important to note that the acceptance of insurance is subject to the Company's rules.

9. If I have existing welfare provided by my employer, should I purchase additional health insurance?

If you are interested in obtaining comprehensive coverage that complements existing benefits, Muang Thai Life Assurance offers health insurance products that can act as a top-up to your current benefits. This way, when you need to stay in the hospital, you can add coverage for room charges or medical expenses. The best part is that the premiums are affordable, making the decision to purchase easy and comforting. You can comfortably decide to buy and feel reassured knowing that you can choose a comfortable room when you need to be hospitalized.
