No, I don't have any health insurance. I'm quite sure I can self-insure if the worst comes to the worst.

Well you could just renew it?

The policy I have is for people younger than 60. I am turning 55 next month so that gives me 5 years to find a solution.

Are you sure about that? Here is a screenshot from Safety Net’s product disclosure for their PHP Private Health Protection accident & illness cover, if you’re not on this policy already I suggest you change to it before you reach 60 to continue renewing, if you are on the PHP policy already then you’re mistaken about the age limit for existing customers to renew.

Yep that's my policy, you've made my day! I thought it cuts off at 60.

My father had regency expats and his claim was denied due to alcohol in his system.. he was sent home to die - unable to pay for health costs, noone to advocate for him , and he was unable to fight for the support he needed

Take that for what's it's worth and do what you think is rite for your family

Bdae expat infinity.
Most important is that the contract is infinite as in that they can't choose not to renew for ANY reason. Then that premiums can not be increased based on ur claims..

I am with BDAE as well and every year they rise very badly. However they are still way more cheap than all the others (taking the coverage into consideration), so it is complaining at high level
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over

I decided Phnom Penh is too far to go for a doctor , so I have to find some life insurance
but even all my money in the bank will be lost when I die ,
How am I going to trust anyone to give anything to my minor survivor when I die ?
Still have not found a ( fairy ) godmother yet . 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

I think a little more context is needed before we can judge Regency Expats on that one
