Health and Accident Insurance for International and Thai Students

International College and Thai students, depending on their nationality, are covered under one of two insurance policies for health and accident insurance while they are a student at Payap University. Thai students have one policy and foreigners have another. However, all coverage is under Bupa Health Insurance Company.  Thai students are charged 1,400 baht while foreign students are charged 3,700 baht.

Students will be covered by Bupa Health Insurance Company starting from 1 June 2013 to 31 May 2014. Students should be receiving a Bupa Insurance Card by July, 2013. The health insurance card will be presented to the medical facility at the time you are requesting medical care[1]. Until the time that insurance cards are issued, students will need to file a claim. This means the students must pay up front for the health care coverage they are receiving.
