Business travelers attending meetings, conferences, or short projects.

People visiting family or staying temporarily before securing long-term residency coverage.

Typical coverage items (varies by plan)

Emergency room treatment and ambulance services.

Hospital admission and inpatient treatment.

Specialist consultation and diagnostic tests.

Some plans include limited outpatient care and prescription medication.

Medical evacuation or repatriation in serious cases (if included).

Note: Specific limits, exclusions, and waiting periods depend on the chosen policy—always review the policy wording before purchase.

How to choose the right plan

1. Confirm the length of coverage you need (single trip, multiple entries, or multi-month). 2. Check maximum cover limits and sub-limits for hospitalization and outpatient care. 3. Verify whether pre-existing conditions are covered or excluded. 4. Look for emergency repatriation and evacuation provisions if relevant. 5. Consider the provider’s local support and ease of claims processing—local presence in Dubai and Ajman can be a practical advantage.

Claims, approvals, and emergencies

For emergencies, seek immediate medical attention; keep receipts and medical reports for claims.

Many plans require pre-authorization for non-emergency hospital admissions—contact AL SAHRAA’s support team if unsure.

Retain copies of all medical documents, invoices, and discharge summaries to speed up reimbursement or direct billing where available.

Documents and eligibility

Commonly required documents include passport copy, travel itinerary, visa details (if available), and a completed application form. Eligibility rules vary by insurer and plan—some short-term plans exclude certain nationalities or have age limits.
