Luma Health provides excellent health insurance plans for expats and locals in Thailand. In fact, its Hi5 Care package is one of the best affordable plans currently available on the market.
About Hi5 Care Plan
Here’s what sets Hi5 Care apart from other plans:
- You get an annual limit of THB5 million, which is among the highest for local plans.
- You get full coverage for IPD, cancer, newly discovered chronic diseases, and medical evacuation as long as it’s under the plan’s limit. This makes it valuable because other local insurance plans usually come with specific limits on each IPD coverage.
- You can walk into one of the many hospitals (including top-tier facilities like Bumrungrad) and show your card to get treatment. The hospital will settle your bill directly with the insurance company, and you won’t have to pay a cent.
- You can pay for your plan in Thai Baht through a bank transfer or with a credit card. You can also pay for your plan annually or in four consecutive installments with no extra fees.
- You get worldwide emergency coverage with annual limits of THB1,250,000.
- You can add a deductible to your plan to lower your insurance premiums. There are many deductibles to choose from, ranging from THB30,000 to THB300,000.
- You can get up to 20 percent off of family plans.
Luma’s Hi5 Care plan comes with two options, both providing THB5 million in annual coverage with distinct options for hospital room access. Here’s a short summary of the cost of each plan.
For a 39-year-old individual, the starting premium is THB33,827 per year.
The upgraded option at THB37,479 per year allows for higher hospital room limits, giving you the option to pick a room other than the standard.
About PRIME Plan
In addition to the Hi5 Care plan, Luma also offers a PRIME plan, giving you more coverage.
Here’s the key upgrades you get with the PRIME plan.
- You get an annual limit of THB10 million, THB30 million, or THB50 million. This gives you more financial security for unexpected medical expenses.
- You get coverage internationally, with three zones available. The most basic zone includes international coverage in Thailand and Europe. This allows you the flexibility to seek treatment in multiple European countries, including Germany, making it a good feature if you visit these countries often.
- You get access to premium rooms, giving you more comfortable experiences in case of hospitalizations.
