Pain Away provides Medical Certificates for Work Permits now too. Click here for more info.

Getting a Medical Certificate

We understand that you might have some reservations on whether or not a clinic like ours is able to provide a medical certificate – after all, most clinics aren’t able to supply one or have issues when claiming with insurance. We’d like to reassure you that we have an in-house doctor that will be able to provide one upon consultation – simply ask for Dr. Nawapol and he will be ready for your appointment. We have worked with all major national and international insurance companies on a regular basis, and there has never been a hitch.

Please note:

  • The doctor is in-house all day and available for a consultation every day except Wednesday (Thursday to Monday, as our clinic is closed every Tuesday).
  • When requesting for a medical certificate, a doctor’s fee will be charged (which includes the certificate) for 500 Baht.
  • We also provide medical certificates for Work Permit for 700 Baht.
  • Please bring your passport or national ID card
  • Patients must see the doctor at least once a month to continue claiming for the insurance process (contact us for more details).

Here is an example of a medical certificate issued by us:

Can I do an insurance direct billing?

Pain Away Clinic currently has contracts with insurance companies. Therefore, patients can receive treatment at our clinic without reserve payment for their medical expenses in advance. Which has the following insurance companies:

1. Tokio Marine (Japan)

  • Patients have to inform their insurance company about their visit at Posture clinic and detail about patient’s conditions.
  • Your insurance will send a Guarantee of Payment (GOP) for your initial treatment at clinic. Then the clinic will inform the patient.
  • Patients can schedule an appointment at our clinic for treatment as well as to fill an insurance form.

2. CIGNA insurance (International and some of Thailand groups) and BUPA International Insurance

  • Patients who need to do direct billing must bring their Cigna insurance card to our clinic.
  • Our clinic will check your insurance eligibility and let the patient know which treatments are covered by their insurance.
  • For medical expenses in the first time visit, patients have to pay by themselves first. (You can claim with your insurance later by submitting a receipt and medical certificate.)
  • When our clinic receives a Guarantee of Payment (GOP) from your insurance provider, we will notify you and you can start treatment.

  1. Patients contact insurance to check about the covered treatment such as Physical therapy, Electrotherapy, Acupuncture, Cupping therapy.
  2. When visiting the clinic for treatment, the patient asks for a receipt and a medical certificate.
  3. Patients contact insurance to make a reimbursement by themselves with evidence of treatment. (Medical certificate and receipt)
