Why Choose Deductible Health Insurance?

Young generations, despite their age, should start planning for their health early on. With a fast-paced lifestyle driven by work and personal activities, health problems can arise. Choosing the right health insurance is crucial for new generations. It’s important to select a policy that meets your needs while ensuring that the premium is affordable for your income. Opting for deductible health insurance, which includes an initial out-of-pocket payment, can help lower premiums. Let’s explore what deductible health insurance is and why it’s a great choice, as explained by Muang Thai Life Assurance.

What Kind of Health Insurance Should the Young Generation Choose?

Before diving into deductible insurance, let’s start with tips for selecting health insurance tailored to the younger generation. Most Gen Z and Millennials are either young professionals, first jobbers, or freelancers. Regardless of their career path or existing corporate benefits, having personal health insurance can provide peace of mind and financial security.

When buying health insurance, you should evaluate your income and current benefits to ensure they are adequate. A suitable premium should not exceed 10-15% of your total annual income. For example, if you earn 20,000 Baht per month, your annual income will be 240,000 Baht; a premium of 10% would be 24,000 Baht per year. Here’s a checklist to help you choose the right health insurance:

✅ Look for plans with a single lump-sum coverage limit to avoid worrying about treatment costs.

✅ Coverage of common illnesses, critical illnesses, and accidents.

✅ Opt for plans that provide full coverage for standard private rooms during hospitalization.

✅ Convertible option: If possible, select a plan with the flexibility to adjust your deductible in line with changing benefits.

✅ Choose a plan that fits your budget to avoid missing payments and ensure uninterrupted coverage.

What is a Deductible, and How Does It Benefit You?

Most employees already have company-provided insurance or benefits, but the coverage for room and treatment expenses might not be sufficient. For those looking to enhance their coverage without paying high premiums, opting for health insurance with a deductible is a smart choice. The higher the deductible you select, the lower your premium will be—making it ideal for the new generation.

What is deductible health insurance? It’s a type of health insurance where you pay the initial portion of your medical expenses (the deductible), and the insurance covers costs that exceed this amount as outlined in the policy. For example, let’s say Mr. D has group insurance from his company with coverage of 30,000 Baht. If Mr. D incurs hospital expenses totaling 40,000 Baht and has individual health insurance with a deductible of 30,000 Baht, the group insurance will cover the first 30,000 Baht. The remaining 10,000 Baht will then be covered by Mr. D’s individual health insurance, meaning Mr. D doesn’t have to pay anything extra.

Having health insurance before you fall ill reduces the financial burden of medical expenses. When choosing health insurance, consider not only coverage and premiums that fit your income but also policies with deductibles to keep costs affordable.
