ABU DHABI - The National Health Insurance Company (Daman) has launched its Visitor's Plan to facilitate visa application procedures after receiving the necessary authorisation.
Daman's plan is
as per the Ministerial Decision No. 322/2008 with regard to all applications for
visit visas in the UAE.
According to
the changes in the national visa system, several types of visit visas are
available. One of the mandatory conditions is proof of health insurance.
"As the
nation's primary health insurance company, we are always in the forefront to
support any national developments and changes. The new Visitor's Plan has been
specifically designed to provide emergency in-patient healthcare insurance for
any visitor, which facilitates the visa application process as well as the
visitor's stay in the UAE," said Dr Michael Bitzer, CEO of Daman.
"Three
insurance-packages are ready for immediate use with competitive and affordable
prices so as to further provide some peace of mind to the visitors."
Dr Bitzer added
the validity of this heath insurance policy will be terminated with the expiry
of the visa and Daman will not be responsible for any emergency medical coverage
exceeding the visa period.
The three
visitor-packages are valid for 30, 60 and 90 days with gross premiums of Dh40,
Dh70 and Dh90, respectively. Benefits will cover in-patient emergency medical
treatment in Daman's UAE network only, with an upper limit of Dh100,000 per
person.
Pregnancy and
delivery, and eye and dental care are not covered.
