A medical report for an insurance claim is a signed doctor’s summary of what was wrong, what was done, and what it cost. To get paid first time, your claim file needs this report, an itemized receipt, and your policy details. A clear, complete file in Patong is the fastest way to get your money back.

When you visit a Thai clinic in Patong, bring your passport, your travel insurance policy, and a list of your medicines. Add your local address and a way to pay as backup.

In Patong, choose a hospital for serious problems and a walk-in clinic for everyday ones. A hospital is right for chest pain, broken bones, or major trauma.

A fit-to-fly certificate is a signed note from a licensed doctor that says you are well enough to fly. In Patong, you can get one same-day at a walk-in clinic. The doctor checks you, confirms you are safe to travel, and writes the certificate. Airlines ask for it after illness, injury, or in late pregnancy.

Direct billing means your clinic sends the bill straight to your travel insurance, so you pay nothing at the desk. Many insurers allow it in Thailand. You show your policy, we confirm your cover, and we bill the insurer for you. If your plan does not allow it, you pay first and claim it back later.
