Insurance & Direct Billing
Medical care covered by major UAE insurance providers
How does medical insurance work in the UAE?
In the UAE, residents are provided with medical insurance by their employers — or they can purchase it individually. Polyclinic.ae is the only Russian-speaking multidisciplinary clinic in Dubai that works with major insurance providers through direct billing, the standard system used by leading hospitals across the Emirates.
With direct billing, the clinic settles bills directly with the insurance company, and the patient pays only the co-payment, if applicable under their plan.
Most insurance packages cover doctor consultations, lab tests, diagnostic imaging, procedures, physiotherapy, surgeries, maternity care, and prescribed medications — depending on your policy.
Some tests or aesthetic procedures may not be covered under insurance.
Your doctor or our administrative team will always help clarify coverage details before treatment.

How to Use Your Insurance
Direct Billing
For all major UAE insurance providers, Polyclinic.ae offers direct billing. Once you confirm that your insurance works with us, simply book an appointment with the desired doctor. Some consultations and procedures are covered immediately, while others may require prior approval from your insurance company — depending on your plan. If certain services are not covered, you can still benefit from special discounted rates available for insured patients.Reimbursement (Pay & Claim)
If your insurance company is not yet on our partner list or your plan is outside our coverage network, you can still use your insurance through reimbursement (Pay & Claim).In this case, you pay at the clinic, and we provide all necessary documentation for you to submit to your insurance provider for refund.
The reimbursement amount depends on your insurance policy and type of consultation (GP, specialist, or consultant level).

Attention!
The insurance company reviews each case individually, depending on the insurance coverage and diagnosis. Usually, they approve only the necessary services related to the diagnosis. Please check the details with your insurance company or the clinic manager.
Some services prescribed by the doctor may require separate approval from the insurance company. The doctor and clinic administration will gladly answer all your questions during the appointment.
