Is it possible to transfer my health insurance when changing jobs in the UAE?

No, health insurance policies in the UAE are generally tied to the employer who provides them. When you change jobs, your previous employer’s coverage will end, and your new employer is responsible for offering you a health insurance plan as part of your employment benefits.

The main points to keep in mind are:

• Employer-Based Coverage: Health insurance is linked to the sponsoring employer and cannot be transferred.
• New Policy with New Employer: Once you join a new company, you will be enrolled in the insurance plan arranged by your new employer.
• Continuous Protection: It’s advisable to confirm when your new coverage will start to avoid any gaps in medical protection.
