That's possible if the insurance company is playing ball, very hard if they aren't.
But even so, 10 hours is a very long time in a life threatening situation. So you need to have a plan in place about what you do before then.

Yeah you’re right. She was very fortunate.
I can’t imagine how it would happened if insurance wasn’t involved - but that’s why i have insurance.
The timeline for her was approx:
c.7am accident.
8am arrived at International SOS
9.30 transferred to Royal Rattanak
10.30 insurance rep met me at RR to take our passports
3.15ish left RR
6pm ish arrived in Bumrungrad
Very slick process.
Having quality insurance is the best advice you can get. Insurance company will decide best place for treatment inside or outside Cambodia.
