Covid19 travel insurance for US expats in Thailand

I am a USA Expat, 68 y/o who was living in Thailand but now I'm stranded in Bali. When things open up I need to get back to Thailand.
Currently as you're probably aware Thailand has an entry requirement to have "Valid health insurance policy covering all expenditures of medical treatments including COVID-19 worth at least $100,000 USD".
Do you have a policy that meets their requirements? Have any of your policies actually been used to enter Thailand and been accepted?
Or can you guarantee that they would accept it?

Global Medical Bronze insurance for US citizen living abroad

I am a 23-year-old American woman traveling in Australia on a working holiday visa looking for travel health insurance. I am very interested in the Global Medical Bronze Insurance and wanted to ask a few questions.I will be visiting the USA for about a month in July 2019 then will spend the remainder of the year in Australia. I have been told I need to purchase PPACA insurance as an American citizen. Is this included in the Bronze insurance? Do I need to go through a separate process to obtain the PPACA? Is it necessary? I will not be working in the USA while I am home.
Any information would be very helpful.

support_agentDear Christina,
Thank you for contacting us at American Visitor Insurance for your travel health insurance needs! None of the visitor insurance plans that we offer are PPACA compliant. Only domestic health insurance plans are compliant with ACA. The laws for visitor insurance plans are different from those of domestic plans. You can definitely buy the Global Medical Bronze plan for your visit to the US from Australia. We feel that there is no need to buy PPACA complaint plan as it is only US domestic plans that are compliant and US domestic insurance will not cover you in Australia.
Global Medical Bronze will cover you while you are in Australia and in the US. Here are the details of the plan. This is a plan from the company IMG:
