GT Rider Motorcycle / Health Insurance

[Dave J]

Wow! What a story and recovery. Your heart and will seem to be in the right place, and gotten you back to the joy of riding.
I've never understood the vocabulary of insurance too well. I'll check in with Mon at cnx and get some suggestions. Are you happy with your current coverage? Thanks for sending your policy.
Is the GTR Group Health Insurance good and available for 68/72 y olds? Seems to be the inevitable cost of getting older - insurance is getting tougher to get...

As the oldest member of the GTR GRoup Health Insurance Policy, I will be 70 at the end of this year, & have started to look for alternative policies should I be refused coverage at renewal time in September.
The recommendation from Thai health was to swap over direct to a Wealthy Healthy Policy

Wealthy Healthy - Thai Health Insurance

In-Patient Coverage (IPD), Wealthy HealthyIn-Patient Coverage is a patient who needed to be admitted as an inpatient in a hospital or in a medical facility for a minimum of 6 hours, and is registered as an inpatient under the advice of a licensed physician according to the standard medical...

The premium I pay now in the group health insurance is 47,804 Baht for 1.2 million coverage, with a 600,000 baht maximum pay out per claim.
A similar premium in the "old age" Wealthy Healthy policy = WH3000 / 690,000 baht maximum pay out a year.

Lets see what we can turn up.

 

[DavidFL]

I believe we will get information from Thai Health / & Cnxinsure next week about the 2024 GTR policy renewal.
Please stay tuned.

Yes, up 25%. Looking for an alternative.

 

[DavidFL]

Yes, I doubt if anyone is happy with a second consecutive 25% increase.
I have queried this & a complaint has been made to Thai Health, none of the increase is due to our broker.
Sadly, there maybe better options out there now for everyone.
Would all members of the policy please contact me to jointly explore other options.

Yes, up 25%. Looking for an alternative.

 

[DavidFL]

For those who maybe like myself, approaching 70, the option I am going for is lower coverage = what I can afford.
I cant afford the 63,324 baht premium with my current financial status.
I will take either Plan 1 EH3000 (600,000 baht max) @ 32,009 baht or Plan 3 / EH4000 (800,000 baht max) @ 42,464 baht.
I am also seeking another accident insurance policy, that may assist as well.

We currently have 5 people renewing their group insurance.

 

[Tejas Barc]

I'm 95% for sure I'm renewing. I guess we have lost some with the rate increases.

I chose plan 4 last year and will most likely go again

Yes, what I found at my age, when you look around the premiums are all very high & so the group one is still reasonable value.
Any new individual policies will need health checks ups & I'm on the standard old age medication - blood pressure & cholesterol - nowadays.
Some additional accident insurance maybe a good idea, to use for "small accidents" & not claim on the main health policy.

 

[DavidFL]

Time is winding down guys.
For those people who indicated to me that they will renew and pay, you need to complete the consent form sent out plus pay your premium for the desired coverage
For myself I will renew at the lowest coverage this time round, due to financial constraints.
From what I understand with most guys in the policy, everyone except maybe one person will renew. Sadly it is what it is with premium increase and insurance companies looking to maximise profit.
The group policy is renewed one time, as a group, when all the premiums are in; so if you're taking your time and wish to renew please do so asap, preferably before the 20th if possible.
Individual premiums are not remitted as they come, but are remitted one time as a group.
We need to wrap it up as one.
Many thanks.

 

[DavidFL]

I've renewed my group policy insurance today with Plan 1 @ 32,009 baht.
EH 1500 maximum 300,000 baht coverage, sadly all I can afford at the moment.

 

[Tejas Barc]

I've been procrastinating. Will get on this

 

[DavidFL]

5 people have renewed their insurance.
Memberships cards & docs will be sent out soon.

It maybe an idea to look at alternative options next year.

Time for a quick cuppa on the Khong it's a 16 kms meander upstream to 1 of my favorite coffee shops, Enjoy on the Mekong. Enjoy Coffee has a magical relaxing atmosphere, but it was a boiling hot day when I left Enjoy to gently meander home. An old rustic house with a magnificent tree on the...
