Personal Accident Insurance Cover

Many save money on their main Health Insurance by agreeing to a high deductible. This effectively renders your insurance useless for everyday accidents. But if you combine that policy with a Personal Accident Insurance – then you will likely achieve the very best Solution.

Depending on your age you may pay as little as 10 baht a day and receive 100,000b cover. Thus paying out for smaller accidents that would not be covered on your annual health policy. And please note that cover is per accident, so in the event you have multiple accidents you are still fully covered.

Accident Insurance FAQ

Do I have to purchase Personal Accident Insurance with a General Annual Policy?

No. But generally I would recommend it. PA and full health insurance work together, they are not substitutes for each other.

Is deductible the same as 'Excess'?

Yes – these are different terminologies for the same thing.

If I buy Personal Accident Insurance - can I cancel my General Health cover?

Technically you could – but it’s definitely not recommended. Personal Accident insurance has a lower total cover and is designed for accidents, not large injuries that you still want cover for.

Can I have two separate Health Insurance policies running at the same time?

Generally speaking no you can’t. But I this case you can. Personal Accident insurance will work with any existing insurance policy you might have.

What is covered under personal accident insurance?

Personal accident insurance is a form of protection that provides insurance coverage in the form of medical expense reimbursement and partial income compensation in the event of an unexpected accident that results in a personal injury, broken bones, disability, death or other forms of physical trauma.

What are the 2 main types of personal accident insurance policies?

You have the option of two plans which are imaginatively called: Plan 1, and Plan 2. The goal of both plans are the same in that they provide financial protection for you in the event you need medical assistance following an accident.

Practically the only difference is the cost, and the level of protection they provide.

What is not covered in personal accident?

Personal Accident insurance provides compensation in case of injury, disability, loss of organ or death caused by accident.

Excluding the cost of medical or any expenses caused by illness.

On the contrary, health insurance provides protection for the cost of medical expenses. It does not cover any expenses caused by an accident.

Does travel insurance cover personal accident?

The exact details of Travel Insurance policies vary from policy to policy. However in general these are designed for ‘travel’, and are unlikely to cover any accident situation where you are resident, or located in one country for a long term.

The duration limit varies, however many limit this to a maximum of 30 continual days in any one Country. Refer to your Travel Insurance documentation for exact details.
