🏥 Overview of Sum Insured and Outpatient Scope
According to the insurance policy terms, the Sum Insured (SI) for each insurance period and the limits depend on the specific program, ranging from 31,500,000 VND to 168,000,000 VND. This amount covers all necessary medical expenses for outpatient treatment due to illness or accidents, including doctor consultations, prescription medicines, diagnostic tests and imaging, outpatient procedures/surgeries, necessary medical devices, and specialized physiotherapy therapies.
The protection programs range from Zone 1 (Vietnam) to Zone 5 (Worldwide), giving participants—especially families with expats or international students—the flexibility to choose the right level of protection for their travel itinerary. You can find more details about the international coverage zones in the article: 5 Bao Viet InterCare Plans: Coverage Levels from Vietnam to Worldwide.
💊 Doctor Visits, Prescriptions, and Diagnostics (Section 1.1)
Outpatient treatment is a vital part of supporting patients who are ill but do not require hospitalization. For each consultation and treatment visit, the insurance company pays up to a maximum limit depending on the chosen plan. Specifically, the limit per visit covering consultation, prescription medicines, tests, and corresponding procedures is as follows:
| Plan Tier | Max limit per visit (VND) | Max daily physiotherapy (VND) | Annual health checkup (VND) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Select | 3,200,000 | 200,000 | N/A |
| Essential | 5,000,000 | 250,000 | N/A |
| Classic | 6,700,000 | 300,000 | N/A |
| Gold | 7,300,000 | 400,000 | 2,000,000 |
| Diamond | 11,800,000 | 500,000 | 3,000,000 |
The table above shows a clear distinction in financial capacity across coverage tiers. Under the Diamond plan, each outpatient visit is covered up to 11,800,000 VND, which is highly suitable for elderly family members or individuals with chronic conditions requiring regular, scheduled treatments.
🧘 Physiotherapy, Acupuncture, and Deep Therapies (Section 1.2)
For cases requiring functional recovery after accidents, musculoskeletal trauma, or neuromuscular diseases, physiotherapy, acupuncture, radiation therapy, heat, or light therapy prescribed by a doctor are essential. This benefit allows the insured to use up to 60 days per year with the following daily limits:
- Select Plan: Max 200,000 VND/day.
- Essential Plan: Max 250,000 VND/day.
- Classic Plan: Max 300,000 VND/day.
- Gold Plan: Max 400,000 VND/day.
- Diamond Plan: Max 500,000 VND/day.
The maximum of 60 days per year is a highly supportive policy, giving post-accident patients or those recovering after illness sufficient time to rebuild physical strength without a crushing daily financial burden.

🩺 Periodic Health Checks and Vaccinations (Section 1.3)
A highlight of premium packages is the focus on prevention rather than just treatment. Coverage for periodic health checks and vaccinations applies only to the two highest-tier plans, Gold and Diamond:
- Gold Plan: Limit of 2,000,000 VND/year for periodic checkups and vaccinations.
- Diamond Plan: Limit of 3,000,000 VND/year for these preventive services.
For families with young children or elderly relatives, regular vaccinations and health checks are essential for the early detection of health anomalies. Insurance support for these costs helps your family take a proactive approach to holistic care.

💡 Important Notes When Using Outpatient Benefits
To ensure a smooth and rapid process when utilizing outpatient benefits, the insured should keep the following points in mind:
- Doctor’s Prescription: All costs for medicines, tests, and physiotherapy must fall under a specialist doctor’s official treatment prescription.
- Approved Facilities: Examinations must take place at clinics or hospitals recognized by the insurer. Self-medicating or undergoing procedures without a doctor’s prescription will not be eligible for coverage.
- Direct Billing: At medical facilities with a direct agreement with the insurer, you only need to present your insurance card and pay nothing upfront. At hospitals without an agreement, you must pay first and then submit a claim for reimbursement.
Premium health insurance is not just about financial peace of mind; it is a commitment to accompanying the physical growth of every family member. Choose the coverage plan that truly fits your family’s current health needs.
