Costs of various types of insurance policies in Dubai
Al Hashemi stated that the prices of insurance packages in Dubai start from 525 dirhams, which indicates that there is a basic package imposed by the authority, as well as a number of specially designed and improved packages, according to the products and needs in the insurance market in the emirate. This information was provided in response to a question about the prices of insurance packages in Dubai.
Maximum amount covered by insurance
He explained that the coverage ceiling for the basic package is one hundred fifty thousand dirhams, but that the improved packages are tailored to the requirements of the beneficiaries, provided that these requirements are greater than one hundred fifty thousand dirhams, and that the packages offered by insurance companies are not lower than these requirements.
Laws in Dubai pertaining to health insurance
Al Hashemi has confirmed that the authority adheres to stringent procedures in order to ensure compliance with the health insurance laws and procedures in the emirate. The authority issues violations to employers and sponsors in the event that these parties do not include individuals who are mandated to include them in health insurance.
Regarding the oversight mechanism that was put into place by the authority to ensure that individuals and institutions in the emirate adhere to health insurance laws and controls, Al Hashemi emphasised that "the authority works in cooperation with the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai to monitor violators and implement the law on a large scale." This was said in reference to the fact that the oversight mechanism was put into place by the authority to ensure that individuals and institutions in the emirate adhere to health insurance laws and
He went on to say that "The authority strives, through its associated Dubai Health Insurance Company, to create a health system that is efficient and transparent, by developing systems as well as setting norms and procedures that serve the insurance system."
In order to receive medical treatments, one needs health insurance.
Al-Hashemi emphasised that the care of patients and their access to the medical services they deserve in hospitals and centres run by the government or the private sector requires the availability of the insurance coverage that is due. This is established by law, legislation, and controls, particularly the legal provisions that linked residence and insurance coverage. Al-Hashemi emphasised that the availability of this coverage is a prerequisite for the care of patients and their access to the medical services they deserve.
It is important to note that the authority has recently requested that various business establishments and companies review their lists of workers and employees in order to fulfil what is missing from the required insurance coverage, to avoid legal violations, and to ensure that employees and workers in the emirate receive appropriate treatment services. This is something that needs to be done in order to make sure that employees and workers in the emirate receive appropriate treatment services.
