An injury on holiday is bad enough. Then comes the claim. Many travellers get home, file with their insurer, and hit a wall because their paperwork is thin. A good medical report is the heart of any claim. It links your injury to the accident and proves what care you had. Get it right on the day, and the claim goes far more smoothly.
This guide shows what your medical report must include and what else to keep. Our same-day walk-in clinic in Ao Nang writes clear reports in English and keeps full accident documentation on file. We can also bill many travel insurers directly, so you may pay little up front. Knowing what to collect now saves a headache later.
What a Good Medical Report Must Include
A strong medical report has a few key parts. It starts with your full name and passport number, so it clearly belongs to you. It gives the date, time, and place of the accident, and a short note on how it happened. It lists your injuries in plain detail. It records the treatment given, from wound cleaning to X-rays to stitches. It names the clinic and the licensed doctor who treated you, with a signature and stamp. Each part helps your insurer connect the accident to the care.
The report should also note any X-ray results and the plan for follow-up care. If you were referred to a hospital, that should be written down too. Dates matter, so the report must show when you were treated. Our doctors write reports with all of this, in clear English, so an insurer at home can read them with no fuss. We keep a copy on file in case you need it again.
Other Documents to Keep
A medical report is the main piece, but a few more documents help a claim. Keep every receipt for treatment, medicine, and any hospital transfer. Save photos of your injuries, your scooter or climbing gear, and the accident scene if you can. If police attended, keep any report or note they gave you. Hold on to your scooter rental papers, as some insurers ask about them. Keep your travel-insurance policy number handy. Together, these papers build a clear story that supports your claim.
A quick note on high-risk sports. Some policies only pay for rock climbing, bouldering, or scooter riding if you bought the right cover or held the right licence. This is worth checking before you climb or ride. Whatever your case, our job is the medical side: a clear, honest report of your injuries and care. We do not guess about your policy, but we give you the paperwork you need to make your own claim strong.
How We Handle Claims and Billing
We deal with travel insurers all the time, so we know what they want. When you come in after an accident, we treat you first, then handle the paperwork. Our doctors write the medical report in English on the day. For many insurers, we can bill them directly, which means you may pay little or nothing up front. This is called direct billing. It saves you from paying a large sum and waiting months to be repaid at home.
Before treatment, ask us for a free quote so you know the cost first. You can message us on WhatsApp any time for that. If your insurer needs to approve care first, we can often talk to them for you. We keep full accident documentation on file, so if you need another copy later, just ask. We offer same-day care in Ao Nang and can visit your hotel across Railay and Krabi.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does my insurance need in a medical report?
Your insurer needs a report that shows your name and passport number, the date and cause of the injury, what was hurt, and the treatment given. It should name the clinic and the licensed doctor, with a signature. Our doctors in Ao Nang write reports with all of these details in clear English so your insurer can read them.
Can you bill my travel insurance directly?
For many insurers, yes. We deal with travel insurance all the time and can often bill them directly. This means you may pay little or nothing up front for your care. If your insurer needs to approve treatment first, we can often talk to them for you. Bring your policy number when you come in.
Is rock climbing covered by travel insurance?
It depends on your policy. Some plans treat rock climbing and bouldering as high-risk sports and only pay if you bought extra cover. Check your own policy before you climb. Whatever your cover, we write a clear medical report of your injury and care. That report is what your insurer needs to process the claim.
What if I already left the clinic and need the report later?
That is fine. We keep full accident documentation on file. If you need another copy of your medical report after you leave, just message us and we can send it. This helps if your insurer asks for more detail once you are home. Keep your visit date handy so we can find your record quickly.
Do I need a police report for my claim?
It depends on your insurer and the accident. For a small solo fall or slide, a medical report is often enough. For a bigger crash, one with another vehicle, or a theft, a police report may be asked for. If police attended, keep any note they gave you. Check your own policy to be sure what it needs.
