FAQs
Frequently asked questions about our 16% lifetime discount for new health insurance policies:
Do your quotes for individual/family health insurance automatically include the discount?
Yes. We’ve programmed all our quote tools with the discount.
What happens if the policyholder permanently relocates from Dubai/Northern Emirates but wants to keep their policy?
We’ll need to switch the policyholder to a non-Dubai/Northern Emirates policy. The new policy loses the 16% discount, but if there’s a lifetime discount active in the country where the policyholder is relocating, then we’ll apply that discount to the new policy.
What happens if the dependants don’t live in Dubai or the Northern Emirates?
We won’t be able to cover the dependants under the policyholder’s plan. The dependants will need their own policy and will receive a discount only if there’s one available in their country of residence.
Why are you running a discount for new individual/family business?
The cost of living is intensifying and the market is getting more and more competitive.
We have cost-effective plans, excesses with good discounts, smaller areas of cover, and optional benefit limits. These options can help our members reduce the amount spent on health insurance each month or year.
Do existing customers benefit from the discount?
No. The discount is available to new customers only. An existing customer would need to cancel their policy, wait 28 days, then reapply for a policy. The re-application would entail our usual medical underwriting process.
Does the 16% lifetime discount apply to protection business?
No. There’s a 15% lifetime discount for new protection business.
