Cigna Healthcare (formerly BUPA Thailand) · regional tier

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.
