TL;DR
Call your insurance company first — they'll direct you to the right hospital and send a guarantee letter. Local ambulances are essentially expensive taxis, so it's better to take a regular taxi yourself.

The process: call your insurance hotline first. They will tell you which clinic to go to and send a guarantee letter directly to that hospital. Then take a regular taxi there yourself.

Local ambulances in Nha Trang function more like expensive taxis than proper emergency medical services. A regular taxi to the hospital is a more practical and cost-effective option.

Your insurance company doesn't just advise — they coordinate the visit: they direct you to an appropriate clinic and send a guarantee letter so you don't have to pay out of pocket at the hospital.
