Health Insurance
Health Insurance
Ok, I've heard several of you guys emphasize the importance of having healthcare coverage while living in Cambodia. So my questions are simple. When you get there, where do you go to find health coverage? Where are the best places? And also, what is the general price for a general 1-year healthcare plan over there?

I know nothing about them, but you might like to look into it.

Re: Health Insurance
35 years living or traveling in se asia, never had health or travel insurance
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
Re: Health Insurance
I too have never had insurance cover. But residing here, I have been wondering if I should.

It depends on your age, lifestyle and luck. I've lived here for 25+ years without it, but I am old and have prepared an exit plan so as not to let amateurish hospitals feed off my bank account or be a burden to my family.

As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.
Re: Health Insurance
With you saying exit plan! Is this hopefully to fly to a western country? If so it would depend on the nature of the illness.taabarang wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2017 8:15 pmI too have never had insurance cover. But residing here, I have been wondering if I should.

Re: Health Insurance
I have World Nomads for about AUD700/year, but I understand they don't insure "travellers" for more than two years, so I will try another (1cover maybe) when this one expires next year.
I did enquire about expat insurance and was quoted USD1500/year which is roughly three times the price of World Nomads.

Re: Health Insurance
Taabarang, you said you have an exit plan? Good G*d I hope you don't mean you're going to off yourself! You've got my interest now so please tell me what your exit plan is.
Re: Health Insurance
What I'm worried about is getting in a traffic accident and getting seriously injured and having to pay a huge amount of $$$ that I might not have. Don't any of you guys worry about something like that happening? I'm 49 years old and relatively healthy as far as I know, lol.
Re: Health Insurance
Thanks, Timmy. Yeah, that AUD figure sounds reasonable. I think I'll check it out.
