Mild, asymptomatic COVID-19 cases not entitled to claim under new insurance rules

14 Sept 15:38 Key points summarised by AI

The Thai Life Assurance Association introduced new rules effective February 15th, restricting COVID-19 compensation claims.
Asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 cases, treated in hospital or home isolation without a doctor's certificate, are no longer covered for medical care or compensation.
Claim eligibility now requires specific severe symptoms, such as a fever over 39°C for more than 24 hours, rapid breathing, or low blood oxygen levels.
Crucially, existing “Found, Paid, Done” insurance policies for COVID-19 infections remain unaffected, allowing claims for RT-PCR confirmed cases.
