Medical Insurance
Can someone please recommend a medical insurance for expats in Cambodia.
Once you've read the dictionary, every other book is just a remix.

I use Cigna in UK, however a company here I have been a customer of for 6 years for other things also handles expat heath insurance https://www.infinitysolutions.com/perso ... insurance/ The boss there is a really pleasant guy.
They are not the same company as Infinity Insurance.

The brokerage AG Cambodia, based at the Himerawi building, is a very well run French firm and been around since 2006.
Your age, medical history and cover required makes recommending an individual insurance company pointless. This is one of the few times where a broker is very useful.

I usually find that people who are trying to sell you something usually are.

Re: Medical Insurance
Even then they're not always helpful. I've tried two brokers in the last year. I got to the stage of going through the application process TWICE for different policies, only to find out:
1. Oh, I didn't know you were Australian. This policy is only for American citizens; and
2. Oh, this policy is only available to under 50yos.
So a complete waste of time, let alone handing over all my personal info to two companies for no reason. I remain uninsured.

Re: Medical Insurance
I know this isn’t what the OP asked but it is topic related. I’d like to share what my theory is and so far what works for me. Being a 60 yo Aussie I could not believe the the massive amount they wanted to insure me, it almost put my retirement plans out of the question. So I thought it out
1: Insurance Premiums are expensive
2: Health services in Cambodia are basic at best
3: Health services in Cambodia are cheap
So my theory is I’m not wanting to get treatment in Cambodia for anything other then an emergency, anything else I’ll fly back to Australia for free treatment. In case of emergency you will need the Khmer health system to save your life and get you stable enough to fly out. Your going to fly out anyway. So as my backstop, I have a Visa credit card with a large limit on it. I don’t use the card , I only have it for emergency use when I’m in Cambodia. That way I have access to the Emergency services but pay no insurance premiums. So far it works for me.

Re: Medical Insurance
I use AXA Global Health Care. Tailored to my individual needs. It also covers my Cambodian wife as a dependent and is good world-wide. If you don't need U. S. and Canada coverage it is quite reasonable. Before I bought their insurance I searched far and wide and couldn't find anything more competitive. Their agent for Cambodia is located in Hong Kong. They are online.

Be careful about non-use of a credit card. I had one cancelled for that reason. Citibank.pauloxleyisland wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 11:57 am I know this isn’t what the OP asked but it is topic related.
