Breakfast Meeting: Compulsory Health Insurance in Dubai

November 11, 2015 @ 8:30 am - 10:30 am

Our first ever breakfast event took place on November 11 in the Conrad Hotel in Dubai. 28 participants, 24 of which were ABC members, gathered to gain information on the topic of “the new compulsory health insurance law in Dubai”.
Our guest speaker was Mr. Sven Reinicke from German Finance Experts. In a well-structured presentation he first talked about the basics of the new law before focusing on the potential critical issues from a European Expat perspective. One of the main topics was the basic principle applied in the insurance industry that the same risk cannot be insured twice. This can lead to a situation that a typical European expat health insurance provider could possibly refuse to pay for treatments; Mr. Reinicke strongly recommended that everyone, who has an expat health insurance additionally to the local compulsory insurance, should approach his insurance institute and request a written confirmation that treatments will always be covered even though a second compulsory health insurance exists.
Many questions raised by interested members of the audience resulted not only in a very interactive session, but also an event that lasted well over 2 hours. It was very interesting to understand what kind of issues one possibly should consider especially those who plan to have a baby, are about to return back to Austria/Germany or plan to change jobs.
We would like to extend our gratitude to Mr. Sven Reinicke and to his team for the interesting session.
