Here we go with many compliments for Yen. Using her services in long time for our company insurance with a big applause of her supportive, responsive, patience, etc. 10/10 recommend Yen to everyone if you need someone guidance you in the right way and save your time.
I can't say enough good things about Yen, insurance superhero! She didn't just help me choose the right insurance, advise clinic, etc. When I had to actually use my insurance today, she had my back like a trusted friend. If you're in need of an amazing insurance guru, you've gotta meet Yen – she's the real deal!
I am an expat living in Vietnam. I was struggling to find the right health insurance but was so lucky to get support from Ms Y at Tenzing! The process of making the right choice was made very easy through her detailed explanations and support.
Definitely worth using a broker to navigate private health insurance. Samuel, and particularly Tâm, have been very helpful in choosing the right insurance and then assisting in following through with my first claim. Much appreciated!
I used Tenzing to get health insurance and I can say it was a good idea. Ha, who is my contact there, did an amazing job to assist me, especially when I need help for some cases. She is really professional, efficient and she was the main reason I renewed my contract for one more year. Thank you Ha!
Thu has been absolutely outstanding in helping me with my health insurance needs. She’s professional, patient, and always willing to explain things clearly. What really stood out was her responsiveness and genuine care — she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. It's rare to come across someone so dedicated and helpful. Thank you, Thu, for your excellent service!

Health Insurance FAQs
Health insurance prices vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including age, benefits, coverage area, provider quality and much more. As an agency, we can offer over 10,000 plan combinations from 30+ providers, so a fixed premium chart isn't feasible.
Both Vietnam and Thailand have modern facilities catering to both expats and locals alike. While Thailand is more known for medical tourism due to its state-of-the-art facilities and economical pricing, health services in Vietnam are very impressive and surprisingly affordable.
Despite these advantages, it is still recommended that expats and travelers planning to visit or live in these locations have reliable international health insurance. Westerners may find medical amenities lacking in comparison to their own countries and while most health services are generally cheaper in this region of the world, medical bills can easily add up depending on the procedure.

Most providers will exclude: pre-existing conditions (unless otherwise declared), non-medically required treatments, certain unreferred treatments, cosmetic procedures, claims for doing anything illegal, claims outside your coverage area and more.
Pre-existing conditions can sometimes be covered; they are handled on a case-by-case basis by each provider. They will need to be declared on the application form and accepted by the provider in order to be covered. If the condition is too risky or serious, then you will usually be accepted into the policy, but with the condition excluded. If you want to have a pre-existing condition covered, be ready to provide supplemental paperwork, which can include previous medical records or questionnaires.
We recommend providers and plans based on our clients' needs. Generally speaking, we focus on mid-tier providers that have been well vetted and do not cause our clients and Tenzing undue headaches.
Yes, certainly we can help with that. Most providers require at least one adult, but we have providers that can do child-only policies.
International health insurance works by applying to an insurance provider, declaring your medical history and based on your risk profile, the provider will offer you an insurance plan.
If you're standard risk, you will get the advertised base rates for the plan you selected.
If you have a riskier profile due to health conditions, job risks, high BMI, etc., then the provider can charge you a surcharge to accept you into their plans.

Many providers are extending the maximum age for new applicants; this will vary from provider to provider. Most providers stop accepting applicants at age 65, 70 or 75. There could be additional costs, or medical exams required to sign up.
