Does UAE health insurance cover cosmetic or elective surgeries?

Most standard health insurance plans in the UAE do not cover cosmetic or elective procedures. These treatments are usually considered non-essential and are not part of the basic medical coverage.

The main points to keep in mind are:

Cosmetic Procedures: Treatments done mainly to improve appearance, such as facelifts or body contouring, are usually not covered.

Elective Surgeries: Surgeries that are planned and not urgently needed for health reasons generally fall outside standard coverage.

Policy Review: Some plans allow optional add-ons for certain elective procedures, so always check your policy to see what is included.
