As per the Health Insurance Law of Dubai, it is mandatory for all residents to have a basic coverage health insurance plan meeting the minimum insurance benefits stated by the Dubai Health Authority. All employers in Dubai must provide their employees with at least a basic UAE health insurance plan. The same is applicable to individual earning members, they are to provide insurance to their dependent family members.

Health insurance companies in Dubai offer two types of health insurance claims – cashless and reimbursement. With cashless claims, you can simply visit one of the network hospitals and show your insurance card for quick and hassle-free payments. On the other hand, if you are visiting a non-network hospital, you need to make the payments first and get reimbursed later.
