Workforce assessment
We map your headcount, roles, salary bands and visa positions first, so the cover you buy matches the team you actually have, not a generic package.

Managed Cover
What does our company health insurance service include?
Our service covers the full cycle of group medical cover: assessing your workforce, sourcing and comparing compliant plans from licensed insurers, enrolling your employees, managing additions and deletions as staff join and leave, and handling the renewal before it becomes urgent.
What the service covers
Plan sourcing and comparison
We obtain options from licensed insurers, from mandatory basic cover through to enhanced plans, and put them side by side in plain language, so you compare real differences instead of brochures.
Compliance alignment
Cover is checked against what Dubai requires for your employees, so work permits, visa stamping and renewals are never held up by an insurance gap.
Enrolment and member management
New joiners are added so their visas can proceed, and leavers are removed so you stop paying for people who've gone. That housekeeping is where most companies quietly lose money.
Renewal management
We diarise your renewal, re-market the plan if terms slip, and put the decision in front of you early, so you're never forced into a rollover because time ran out.
One point of contact
Questions about cover, cards, additions or invoices go to the same team that knows your company, not a call centre queue.
Is health insurance mandatory for companies in Dubai?
Yes. Employers in Dubai must provide health insurance for their employees, and valid cover is checked when work permits and residence visas are issued or renewed. Basic health insurance is now a work permit requirement for private sector employees across the UAE.
In practice, that means three things for an employer
Everyone on the licence
Every employee on your licence needs valid cover, whatever their salary band.
Before a visa moves
New hires need cover in place for their visa processing to move.
At renewal
Lapsed cover surfaces at renewal time, when it blocks permits and invites fines.
Companies just completing business setup in Dubai mainland hit this immediately: the first hires need cover before their visas can be stamped. Building it into the setup sequence avoids the scramble.
Who It Fits
Who is this service for?
Our company health insurance service suits Dubai employers who want cover handled properly without building in-house insurance expertise: new companies insuring their first employees, growing SMEs with mixed staff grades, and established businesses tired of renewals arriving as surprises.
Because our team also runs payroll services in the UAE and UAE visa services, the insurance stays synchronised with the employee records that drive it. When the same firm processes the joiner's visa and the payroll file, the insurance addition doesn't get forgotten.
It fits you if
You're hiring your first employees and need compliant cover before visa processing
Your team spans salary bands, with basic cover for some grades and enhanced plans for others
Joiners and leavers change monthly and your member list never quite matches your payroll
Your renewal keeps arriving late, leaving no time to compare alternatives

Written Costs
How much does company health insurance cost in Dubai?
Premiums depend on your headcount, employee ages, the plan level you choose and the hospital network it opens, so we confirm real costs in writing after a short workforce review rather than advertising a number that won't survive underwriting.
What you can rely on
- Costs presented in writing before any commitment
- Options at more than one level, so you're not pushed into one plan
- A free, no-obligation call to scope what your team needs
Where the money actually leaks
The expensive mistakes in group medical cover are usually structural: paying enhanced premiums for grades that need basic cover, or carrying leavers on the member list for months. Both are exactly what the ongoing management removes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Book your Free Consultation
If your question is not here, ask it directly.
Yes. Employers in Dubai must provide health insurance for their employees, and valid cover is required for work permits and residence visa processing. Basic cover is now a work permit condition for private sector employees across the UAE, so operating without it isn't an option.
Missing or lapsed cover blocks work permit and visa processing, exposes the company to fines, and surfaces at the worst moment: when you're trying to onboard a hire or renew an existing employee. Keeping cover current is far cheaper than untangling a blocked renewal.
Yes. Many employers hold basic compliant cover for some grades and enhanced plans with wider networks for managers or specialist staff. We structure the comparison by staff grade so you see exactly what each level costs before deciding.
A simple census: your employee list with ages, roles, salary bands and visa details. We send a short template, and most companies complete it in under half an hour. Options with written costs follow from there.
It depends on headcount, ages, plan level and hospital network, so we confirm real costs in writing after reviewing your census. The initial 20-minute call is free and carries no obligation, and you'll see more than one option.
Yes. We add new employees so their visas can proceed, remove leavers so you stop paying for them, and manage the renewal early enough to re-market the plan if the terms have slipped. That ongoing housekeeping is part of the service, not an extra favour.
