Information from HealthCare International Global Network Ltd.

The present Underwriter of HCI's Health Plans, "Sagicor Life and Capital", has withdrawn from the international HealthCare business. Therefore, HealthCare International has committed new Underwriters, i.e. ColinaImperial, a subsidiary of Colina Holdings Bahamas Ltd, and National Life Insurance Company (NLIC), a member company of Optimum Group, USA. These Companies are endowed with large financial reserves and rated "A" (excellent) by the most reputed worldwide Rating Agency for Insurers, A.M. Best. This will guarantee the continued financial security for our clients.

New Insurance Plans 2009

Here you go to see the new Insurance plans. The changes compared to the 2008 Plans are minor and mainly concern the out-patient benefits (regarding the plans where they are covered). Despite the premium increase as per 2009, we still offer an unparalleled premium-/benefits ratio.

Listed Hospitals

Considering the meanwhile significant number of Expats in Thailand which became customers of HealthCare International, we are now negotiating agreements with the most important Hospitals  of the concerned areas.  The objective of such agreements is to arrange the straightforward direct billing by the Hospital to HCI, in order to avoid the Hospitals to refuse the direct billing and compelling cash payment by the patient, leading often to unnecessary and overpriced treatments, of which the Insurance understandably refrains from compensation. You may "google" your preferred Hospital in the Internet, and, if you're lucky, find some meaningful blogs.

New applications with start date 1. January 2009 or later

HCI inform us that new applications with start date 2009 are subject to partly sharp increases of the premiums.  Such applies especially for older aged first-applicants. Following our prima facie comparisons, the premium increases amount from around 50% to even over 100%, depending upon the Plan and the age group. Following HCI, such is based on the severe rise of healthcare claims and expenses of these age groups in the recent past . You may consult our Instant Online Premium-Calculator to calculate your premium.

Concerning our existing Customers, the premiums for renewal shall be re-assessed as per 1st June 2009. There are to be expected inflation based increases in the single digit percent range.
