Medicine and Bali. Someone will say that there is super-premium service here, while someone will be horrified at the sight of a hospital room. Everything is very individual. The presence of insurance does not guarantee payment for your treatment in all cases, and it is not always possible to choose a medical institution and doctor based on insurance. But it's better to take care of it in advance.
Sometimes there are complex cases - surgeries that are performed only in one facility in Bali, and they are done by a couple of specialists. Therefore, you need to be prepared to spend money if you need medical assistance. In this case, we strongly advise having insurance. In simple cases, such as poisoning, allergies, or infectious diseases, insurance typically covers the treatment expenses without any problems.
Sequence of actions if you need medical care and you have insurance:
We contact/call the insurance company, explain the situation, and inquire about which clinic to go to. We receive confirmation from them that they have already started sending a guarantee letter to the hospital regarding the payment of your treatment expenses or have already sent it.
We go to the clinic (bring your passport!), ensure that the guarantee has arrived, and undergo treatment. We make sure that the insurance company has sent a general guarantee letter for the payment of all medical expenses and receive medications.
If you have a serious injury, no insurance, and limited funds, try reaching out to government hospitals in the south such as RSUP Dr. I Gede Anom Ngoerah, and in remote areas, such as RSUD Karangasem and RSU Ganesha.
If you are going to the hospital without insurance, the cost of medications sold by the hospital may be crucial for you. Pharmacies at hospitals are much more expensive than regular ones (hospitals earn well on this), and you can simply take the list of prescribed medications and go to a regular pharmacy like 'Kimia Pharma,' Century Pharmacy, or 'Guardian.'
Bali Royal Hospital
Good clinic with two convenient large parking lots. The staff is friendly and caring. There is a large children's department: a pediatrician, a gastroenterologist-hepatologist, an endocrinologist, and a consultant specializing in tropical pediatric infections and diseases. It is not very popular among foreigners; mainly locals seek treatment here. However, the staff speaks English well, and there is a special consultant in the hospital with perfect English. There is also a maternity department here.
The cost of a pediatrician consultation starts from 1 million rupees. The hospital's rule is that before visiting a doctor, a deposit of 2 million rupees must be made. Upon final settlement, if the treatment cost is less, the difference will be refunded.

"Want to share my experience visiting the local hospital with my child. Yesterday, my little one fell in the pool and cut his forehead; the wound turned out to be deep. Following the advice of local friends, we went to BIMC Hospital Kuta. Registration was quick, but we waited for the doctor for over an hour. In the queue ahead of us was a girl with the same forehead wound 🤪 Liked the doctor; they cleaned, treated, and closed the wound carefully and attentively. The child is 4 years old and didn't even flinch. They administered 2 tetanus shots (said everyone here should get them if they haven't). Gave us medications, antibiotics, and plasters to take home. The doctor said we could remove the adhesive with warm water after a week. No soaking until then! The visit cost 2.3 million. Extremely humane, in my opinion."
"The service at BIMC Hospital is very good, meeting international standards of service."

It's very convenient that in this hospital, right after seeing the doctor and receiving prescriptions, you can get a complete set of necessary medications (free with insurance or for an additional fee without insurance). There is a 24-hour emergency service available."
Reviews:
"The hospital facility itself wasn't very appealing (we had to wait quite a bit with a feverish child), but the doctor conducted a thorough examination and prescribed a blood test. By the way, they took blood very gently, which was a relief for me, as my child is only 10 months old. About three and a half hours after we left, we received the test results via email."
