Frequently asked questions
Who is eligible for individual health insurance in the UAE?
Residents of the UAE with a valid residency visa are eligible; coverage options depend on age, medical history and insurer underwriting rules.
How long are waiting periods for pre-existing conditions and maternity?
Waiting periods vary by insurer and plan. Common waiting periods are 6–12 months for maternity and 12–24 months for pre-existing conditions; we will confirm exact terms for each plan.
Can I keep my preferred doctor or hospital?
Many plans include a network of contracted hospitals and clinics; some insurers offer out-of-network reimbursement. We’ll match plans that include your preferred providers where possible.
What affects my premium and can I change coverage later?
Premiums depend on age, chosen benefits, sum insured, deductible/coprovision and medical history. You can usually upgrade coverage at renewal or apply for amendments subject to insurer approval.
How do I file a claim and how long does reimbursement take?
Claims submission depends on the insurer and hospital—direct billing is available with in-network providers. Reimbursement times vary by insurer; we can guide you through documentation and follow-up to expedite processing.
