The deductible is the amount that you have to pay in order to activate the insurance. To understand what kind of insurance, you need to read the document.
аватар PolikSVT
A deductible is an agreement between the insurer and the policyholder on the amount that the tourist will pay himself upon the occurrence of an insured event. Simply put, the tourist assumes part of the possible loss in advance. Your insurance policy will indicate the amount you will pay if an insured event occurs. As a rule, this amount does not exceed $30 for health insurance. You will have to pay less for such a policy. For those who want to save money, this option, of course, is suitable. But do not forget that the deductible amount will be immediately deducted from the sum insured if the insured event still visits you. For example, you cut your leg on the beach. A bandage and iodine cost about $3. You can consult a doctor, as this is an insured event. But you will be charged the amount provided for by the franchise, that is, $30. And treating a cut will cost far more than $3. But if you need very substantial and expensive medical care, then you should immediately pay $ 30 and you will immediately receive full insurance coverage under the contract. If you firmly believe that an insured event will bypass you, then perhaps this is your option.. But remember - saving on insurance is not worth it!

In general, we do not take package insurance seriously, but we insure additionally as we need. That insurance is cheap, and everyone knows where free cheese is.

I agree with jabetta, it’s better to take regular insurance plus an additional one, the cost of which is only $10-20 per person (depends on the insurance company and the age of the tourists)
аватар jabetta
We take VIP insurance, which includes the opportunity to engage in extreme sports (immediately large + to the price, but we need it) for 16 days, for two it costs $ 50.
аватар jabetta
I forgot to add - of course, franchise-free.
аватар PolikSVT
We are not extreme people :))) Our additional (when I go with a child) includes medications, hospital stay (+ payment for accommodation and meals for one parent there), legal services, loss of luggage, etc.
аватар jabetta
This is a matter of personal necessity, of course, I just gave an example for Egypt (this is the maximum price) with the cost. Honestly, I always send the policy to the trash at home with pleasure :)))
Yes, I also forgot to say that you need to choose the right insurance company with good assistance for a certain country with Russian-speaking support.

I've read everything, but one question remains. If the insurance is with a deductible and God forbid an insured event, then where and when should I pay the deductible amount?
аватар PolikSVT
In any case, you must immediately dial the telephone number of the insurance company indicated in the policy, and you will be given a guide to action.
аватар Anetka-gan
A deductible is actually a non-covered amount of insurance. those. what you pay for yourself.
for example - a franchise of 100 ye. and here you have an insured event - you get sick. Your treatment cost $300. then you pay 100 ye, and 200 is the insurance office.
There are two insurance options:
1. either you show insurance on the spot and the doctor does everything for you under insurance and does not require money
2. either you take checks on the spot, and upon arrival you go to the insurance company and everything is returned to you

There are two types of insurance coverage:
Yes, but it's not up to you! These are two possible principles of operation of insurance companies!
You need to clarify in advance on what principle your company works.
It is better to choose those who insure according to the principle: "either you show insurance on the spot and the doctor does everything for you on insurance and does not require money."
But show not to any doctor, but to the one whom the operator will call you on the phone. That is, in the event of an insured event, we first call the hotline, report the emergency and wait for the doctor or go to the clinic that they call you.
Briefly ;-)

Thanks, ALL
аватар jabetta
hatinka, TS asked about package insurance (as far as I understood), so there you need to ask the TO for options - with what insurance they work and under what conditions, in general, read the materiel, if the docks are already on hand, and if not, then slow down of their TA, well, they should not only take money, but also provide information.

Anetka-gan is absolutely and unconditionally right.
I will add. Insurance can be without a deductible, in which case its cost will be higher.

"But you show not to any doctor, but to the one whom the operator calls you by phone. That is, in the event of an insured event, first we call the hotline, inform about the emergency and wait for the doctor or go to the clinic that they call you."
In Thailand, you can simply come to any hospital and show insurance. The hospital itself contacts the insurance company and settles all questions.

Good country Thailand.
In general, the operator of the insurance company really calls the doctor and the clinic.
With self-treatment, ordeals are guaranteed: the insurance policy of the clinic is up to the light bulb, since it may not have an agreement with this insurance. Pay the money yourself - you are tormented to receive it back in your insurance.
So your quote is correct.
аватар Pachok
I do not write that the way I wrote, everywhere. Specifically in Thailand. It is not necessary to contact in advance, all issues are decided by the hospital.
