Thiqah Health Insurance: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how Thiqah Health Insurance provides comprehensive medical coverage for Emirati citizens in Abu Dhabi and surrounding regions.

Thiqah Health Insurance is a medical coverage program designed to provide healthcare access to citizens.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically available to Emirati citizens. To qualify, you must be a citizen residing in Abu Dhabi or within other selected regions as defined by the program guidelines.

What you get

The scheme provides comprehensive medical coverage to its members. This coverage is designed to ensure you can access a wide range of healthcare services at both private and public hospitals, allowing for diverse options when seeking medical attention.

What it costs you

For eligible citizens, this insurance is usually fully subsidized, which means the costs are covered by the government rather than being paid directly by you. To access these benefits and facilitate your enrollment or verification, you must have a valid Emirates ID.

The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is to check your provider's status before seeking treatment. You must ensure that your chosen hospital or clinic is within the specific Thiqah network. If you visit a provider that is not part of this network, you may be required to pay for your medical services out-of-pocket.

How to apply

  • Confirm your eligibility as an Emirati citizen living in the covered regions.
  • Ensure your Emirates ID is active and ready for use.
  • Use the official portal to check your coverage details and find a provider.
