Fortunately, I did not have to test the responsiveness of my insurer, but I hope to get the best service from him if necessary. I have often called on Jihan to advise me and in this case she proposes to continue with the same coverage, but with a cheaper formula (about 70 euros) but I do not know the details! Sincerely.
it does the job

The website did not work to make the request for reimbursement, so it was done by e-mail, in French. I got vague answers, maximum 1 time per day, sometimes 1 per week. Never anything clear, and above all no delay or confirmation of the next step. The sending of receipts to Hong Kong is very appreciable, from China it's much cheaper than a dhl/ups to France.finally, all's well that ends well, but the experience was quite painful.for precision, I only have a hospitalization insurance and I only had to use it once.

I have no opinion as I have never been in direct contact with them and have never used their insurance services.

Everything was fast. I got my certificate in time and the level of coverage is good. I took out a hospitalization, repatriation and civil liability policy.

The only insurer that does not cover only unexpected expenses but all those that would be reimbursed by the French Social Security.
Good advices to choose the health insurance on 20/07/2014
Alexis on 07/20/2014
Good guarantees on the insurance in case of hospitalization for a moderate cost; allows to have all the care and operation reimbursed in case of hospitalization and a private room in a private hospital of very high level in Bangkok. But no experience of a hospitalization and thus the level of service and real reimbursement in case of real problem.

Good price compared to other insurers. To have a particular adviser allows to have a better follow-up and a certain saving of time.

If I only put 3 stars it's because I didn't use my insurance, so I can't judge it, 3 stars for a good quality/price ratio.
