Hi trieutu. I had meant to reply to you earlier but it slipped my mind.

If your intent to acquire health insurance is simply to have access to a facility which could perform health check-ups, I believe you'll find that the premiums for this insurance coverage might be prohibitive (i.e. expensive).

I've twice booked an appointment at a local clinic here in Phu Quoc, named International SOS Clinic (Link, Google search), for CBC blood work (complete blood count). Unfortunately I've also had to cancel twice. Seems I can't muster the willpower to fast for the 8 hours prior to having the blood drawn.

The cost for the CBC is a very low 100K VND (~$4.00 USD). For a full physical I was quoted 500K VND (~$20 USD).

Please let the forum know of your decision on this. We'd very much appreciate it.
