What is the difference between network and non-network hospitals in UAE health insurance?

Health insurance plans in the UAE often distinguish between network (in-network) and non-network (out-of-network) hospitals. Understanding the difference can help you save on medical costs.

The main points to keep in mind are:

• Network Hospitals: These are hospitals and clinics that have agreements with your insurer. Treatments here are usually cashless or reimbursed easily, making the process simpler and more affordable.
• Non-Network Hospitals: These hospitals do not have agreements with your insurer. You may need to pay upfront and submit a claim for reimbursement, which could involve more paperwork and longer processing times.
• Cost and Convenience: Visiting a network hospital generally reduces your out-of-pocket expenses and speeds up claim settlement.
