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:
