What you need to know about Group Health Insurance Policies

1. Why does your company need Health Insurance?
  • Mandatory requirement - As part of their efforts to create an integrated healthcare system in the UAE, the health authorities (DHA & HAAD) have mandated all companies to have a valid insurance policy that covers their employees’ medical expenses.
  • For visa stamping purposes - In HAAD & DHA, all employers and individual sponsors insuring their employees, domestic help or dependents must provide medical insurance. Failure to do so will result in complications with visa issuance and will be penalized for the same. The law ensures that only those with a valid insurance card can proceed with visa stamping.
  • To cover the medical expenses – Group health insurance provided by employers helps pay for employees’ health treatments. It can help cover services ranging from routine doctor visits to major medical costs and covers many preventive services to keep you healthy.
2. Do we need to declare any pre-existing conditions for Group Health Insurance?
  • Pre-existing medical conditions are illnesses or injuries that exist before you take out a health insurance policy, they include chronic diseases, such as hypertension, respiratory diseases, and diabetes as well as any diseases that you may be receiving treatment for, such as cancer. Mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety may also fall under pre-existing conditions
