They may not charge the patients but can bill the National Health Security Office (NHSO) later. All Thais are covered by one of the three health funds. Employees in the private sector, Thai and foreign, who make contributions to the Social Security Fund are covered by it. The funds will repay hospitals within 15 days after receiving the documents from the NHSO, Dr Arkhom said.
