Is BUPA Thailand still selling new policies?

No. Following the Cigna acquisition, new business in Thailand is now written under the Cigna brand, but existing BUPA-branded policies continue to be administered and renewed.

Will my BUPA policy still be honoured?

Yes. Cigna has continued to administer the legacy BUPA Thailand book, so existing policies remain valid at their original terms until renewal.

Should I switch from BUPA to a new Cigna plan?

It depends on age and health. Switching means new underwriting, which can re-exclude pre-existing conditions. Many long-term BUPA holders keep their legacy plan for that reason.

BUPA Thailand

Name: BUPA Thailand
Brand: Cigna Healthcare (formerly BUPA Thailand)

BUPA Thailand was a long-established local health insurer that was acquired by Cigna, and many older expats and Thai nationals still hold legacy BUPA-branded policies. New business is now written under the Cigna brand, but the BUPA legacy book continues to be administered and renewed, typically using Thailand's largest private hospital networks. This listing exists for compatibility for current BUPA policyholders comparing renewal against newer plans. Coverage characteristics are similar to other Thailand-focused regional plans, with strong direct billing in Bangkok but limited international scope.
