National Health Security Office (NHSO) urges hospital operators not to charge COVID-19 patients for any health services. Thai government will reimburse the hospitals for any expense incurred. Both public and private hospital operators can process the claims with healthcare scheme operators if the schemes’ beneficiaries admit to their hospitals.
The sources of the reimbursement fund come from the Thai government’s three healthcare schemes; Universal Coverage Scheme (run by the NHSO), Social Security Scheme (run by Social Security Office), and Civil Servant Medical Benefits (run by the Comptroller General’s Department).
Currently, the NHSO pays the cost of COVID-19 testing for every Thai regardless of their registered healthcare schemes.
