Dubai Health Authority has announced that any individual sponsors who fail to provide compliant medical insurance cover for any employees, dependents and even for themselves if required, by the Phase 3 deadline of 30th June will not be fined in 2016. In effect this gives people a further six months to put in place the mandatory plans, but there is a big catch.
I have written about the new Dubai Health Authority (DHA) rules several times but as the deadline for Phase 3 is fast approaching I thought it would be useful to clarify the requirements and explain how you can arrange suitable cover.
I have previously written about the new requirements from Dubai Health Authority for all residents in Dubai to have private medical insurance but one area that appear to have been overlooked by many is the requirements for sponsors to have insured both their dependents and domestic staff by no later than June 2016.
Any medical insurance plans that are set up from 1st January of this year must also comply with specific guidelines and so it is important to get it right.
I am therefore looking into setting up a straightforward scheme that will be fully compliant with the rules but is also simple to set up and run as well as being competitively priced.
In order to do so I need to establish the need for this type of cover and so would be grateful if you could spare no more than two minutes to complete this eight question survey.
Your assistance is very much appreciated and will help me to provide the best service and options for all parties.
With thanks
Keren
