About Healthcare in Dubai
One of the first questions after moving to a new country is often about health insurance. In the UAE, healthcare can be a significant expense, so it’s important to choose your policy carefully.
Our Recommendations:
Don’t just go for the cheapest option.
Adequate coverage may cost between AED 4,500 and AED 10,000, but it’s a worthwhile investment. Skimping on insurance might leave you facing exorbitant medical bills in the future—no one wants to sell a kidney to cover treatment for another!
Stick to trusted companies.
We recommend reputable insurers like Orient, Nextcare, and Takaful Emarat. These companies not only provide quality medical expense coverage but might even throw in a complimentary coffee!
Check for full coverage.
While some consultations may require a small co-payment, your insurance should fully cover major treatments, medications, and hospitalizations.
Approval processes:
Insurance companies typically approve routine treatments and medications quickly. However, approvals for specific tests might take up to 24 hours.
Healthcare perks in Dubai:
Many facilities in Dubai offer luxurious amenities like pools, spas, and fitness centers. It’s a great way to recover in style—and you might even bump into a celebrity!
Take care of your health and enjoy peace of mind knowing you’re covered. Stay healthy!
