Lookin for enlightenment.
Recently I paid a hospital bill by mastercard for 73,522 Thai Bhat. My insurance company exchanged that to 1507 GBP. My mastercard account shows 1602 GBP. Quite a hefty 95 GBP extra.
I know that sometimes in Thailand they will tell you there is 4% extra but that is usually written into the bill. So I am wondering were the extra was charged. My card is settled by diect debit every month so there is no accrued interest from mastercard.
So before I phone mastercard I am wondering have a missed something.
Anyone she da light please.
Cheers

Recently I was addmitted to Bangkok/Pattaya hospital with Dengue Fever.
I was pretty well under the weather by the time I was examined and informed that I was in a dangerous phase of the fever and needed to be admitted.
Of course I managed to nod my head in agreement and along came the ever present lady to ask how will I pay. I presented my HCI health memebership card only to have it rejected out of hand, I agreed to pay via visa card.
A couple of days later I was well enought to make a call to health Care Inter in London, I was informed that they would contact the hospital and not to worry. Fine I thought it actually works.
Not so a couple of hours later a hospital rep came to my bedside and told me that they had broken the contract with this company ( we can only guess why)
After discharge a few days later I sent off my claim to HCI. They informed me as I had not informed them of my hospital addmittance so as per their policy I would recieve nothing.
My bill was 1520 quid I have an excess of 1400 quid so we are talking about a huge sum of around a hundred quid.
It has taken numerous emails to them regarding my disputed phone call to them, finally they have addmitted I had called and the claim would be actioned immediately, that was 12 days ago.
This claim has dragged on for six weeks, I shudder to think if I had to lay out thoudands of pounds and have this kind of service.
My annual renewal is due in June, today I cancelled that renewal so I am now looking for a new healthcare provider. Not easy at 73 years of age.
Any reccomendations welcome. Cannot afford BUPA Inter.

Qbe Car Insurance

I am contemplating taking out class 1 car insurance with QBE.
Their rates and liabilty cover seem quite good. My question is: Do the the have representatives for easy access thoughout Thailand.
Has anyone had cause do need their help when up country? If so, was the service good.
I travel frequently up North and I would like to think I could have a good quick service if ever needed.
Cheers
