In-Depth Guide: Hospital Discharge Summary (Translated) (MED-DISCH)

Hospital Discharge Summary (Translated) is delivered under iLC's International Insurance and Medical Claims Support practice, combining MoJ-certified translation, MFA legalization, embassy liaison, and Thai government filing under one project manager. Every case is handled by a NAATI-accredited translator, a Thai Notarial Services Attorney, and a dedicated case coordinator.

Insurance and medical-claims work in Thailand requires certified translation of Thai medical records, hospital invoices, radiology reports, prescriptions, discharge summaries, police accident reports, and death certificates for use with overseas insurers, credit-card protection schemes, workers' compensation authorities, and medical malpractice tribunals. iLC's medical-translation team includes translators with clinical backgrounds who preserve ICD-10 / SNOMED terminology, medication generic / brand names, and dosage schedules. We also provide claims-coordination: liaising with the treating hospital, obtaining consent-based release of records, and preparing a legally-defensible claim narrative with time-stamped events, provider identifiers, and expense breakdown.

Why choose iLC for Hospital Discharge Summary (Translated)

With more than 15 years of practice, iLC covers every embassy in Bangkok and both MFA offices (Chaengwattana and Chiang Mai). We operate a two-tier QA review and refund the service fee if a document is rejected due to a defect in our translation or certification — government fees and officer discretion excluded.

Not sure which route applies? Send us the scan — LINE @THAIL · 092-0170000 · Contact@thailaw-accounting.co.th

Documents usually required

Freshly issued original Thai civil or corporate record from the issuing office
Complete English translation of every page, with the translator's statement of accuracy
Copy of the document holder's passport or Thai national ID card
Power of attorney with ID copies of both parties if someone else files on your behalf

Common reasons a bundle is rejected

Hospitals normally issue certified copies only to the patient or an authorised representative.
Drug and procedure names should keep the original clinical term alongside the translation.
Spell every name exactly as it appears in the passport, across every document in the same bundle.

Prefer not to handle the chain yourself? Send the scans and we run every step for you, from translation to the final endorsement.

How the process runs — Medical record and health document certification

Obtain a freshly issued original from the office that produced the record and check that every page is present.
Prepare a complete translation with the translator's statement of accuracy attached.
File for legalization at the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the original and the translation together.
Complete the next certification layer required by the destination country — Apostille, or legalization at that country's embassy in Thailand.
Collect the finished bundle, scan a full copy for your records, then submit it in the format the receiving authority specifies.

Fees and processing times are set by each authority and vary by document and destination — confirm them with the responsible agency.

Handling it yourself vs letting iLC run it

Aspect	Doing it yourself	With iLC
Working out which steps apply	You read each authority's rules yourself, and usually learn a step was missing only after the bundle is refused.	Our advisers review the documents before work starts and sequence translation, notarisation, MFA, and embassy in one pass.
Time spent filing	Repeat trips to each office, queueing and collecting in person.	We file on your behalf; you send scans and receive the finished set by post or courier.
Risk that the translation is refused	Agency names, job titles, and the certification wording often do not match what the receiving office accepts.	We use terminology and certificate formats the receiving authority has accepted before, with two-stage proof-reading.
If the bundle is rejected	You diagnose the cause and refile yourself, losing a full cycle.	We identify the cause, correct it, and refile without you starting over, with progress reported along the way.

What clients typically use this for

Overseas treatment referrals
Medical visa applications
Insurance and disability claims

An advisor, not only a document processor

Before any work starts, our team assesses how many certification layers your document actually needs, which authorities are involved, and the correct order for the office you will really file with. One step out of order usually means restarting the whole bundle. More than 15 years of cross-border document work means we recognise how each authority rejects files and prevent it up front.

The certification route is matched to the receiving authority before work begins.
Rejection risks are checked, from name spelling to document validity windows.
The filing sequence is planned around the deadline you actually have.
