The Emirates of Dubai and Abu Dhabi has made it mandatory that the employer provide health insurance coverage for his employees. Many other Emirates have no such laws at present mandating employer sponsored health insurance, local regulators are considering the introduction of a mandatory employee health insurance scheme where the employers in the United Arab Emirates will be responsible for the premiums & it will be vital to have it in place to avoid fines.
Many employers in UAE consider health insurance as an attractive recruitment tool and it is often included as part of an employee’s compensation package. There are many major group health insurance providers in UAE.
The important factors you need to be thinking about when looking for group health insurance for your employees should be:
- The Geographical scope of coverage (eg. UAE only, UAE + Home Country, Worldwide)
- The category of network of healthcare providers (hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and diagnostic centers)
- The coverage you would like to give for pre-existing conditions
- Whether you opt for co-pay or fixed excess
- Do you want to include optional coverages like dental, optical, wellness, alternative medicine?
- Whether you want to categorise benefits based on employee level
- Do you want to cover maternity and how much?
- The targeted levels of service in terms of turnaround times
- Do you want to have reimbursement facilities for claims made outside the direct billing network and at what percentage.
