Enhancing the Quality of Life for Workers and Insured Persons
The Social Security Office is committed to improving benefits provided by both the Social Security

Fund and the Workmen’s Compensation Fund, in order to promote stability and enhance the quality
of life for insured persons. This commitment aligns with the Sustainable Development Goal of
“Good Health and Well-Being”, by revising and increasing medical benefits to ensure greater coverage and
appropriateness.
• Increased Medical Compensation under the Workmen’s Compensation Fund for Work-related Injuries or Illnesses
Medical expenses are now reimbursed based on actual costs, with an initial cap raised from 50,000 baht to
65,000 baht. In cases where the injured party receives treatment at a private healthcare facility and the expenses
exceed the initial cap, the compensation may be increased up to 1,000,000 baht, as specified in the relevant
Ministerial Regulation. For treatment at public hospitals, medical expenses are covered in full with no limit, until

the completion of treatment.
• Expansion of Medical Benefits under the Social Security Fund
1) Inclusion of Sleep Test and CPAP Treatment for Sleep Apnea effective from 1 January 2024,
where insured persons diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea are now entitled to medical benefits covering
sleep testing and treatment using a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device. This initiative aims
to reduce the risk of comorbid conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sudden death during sleep,
while also improving sleep quality, reducing daytime fatigue, and enhancing work productivity.
