The National Health Insurance Company - Daman said it has adopted a new measure to validate residents’ eligibility for the Abu Dhabi Basic Plan, as per health insurance laws and regulations.
Following an MoU signed last October, Daman will use the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation’s (MoHRE) Smart Government Enquiry Service to confirm details about a person’s employment status, including salary and company details.
The initiative will ensure that only those eligible will be able to enrol in the health insurance plan.
Abu Dhabi Basic Plan is applicable to all those earning AED4,000 (US$1,089) a month or less, with accommodation or AED5,000 a month or less without accommodation. The plan is available to all expatriates who fit the above criteria living in Abu Dhabi and holding a visa issued in the emirate.
Daman’s collaboration with MoHRE will bolster the company’s strategic position as the UAE’s leading health insurer and forms an important part of Daman’s on-going efforts to enhance efficiency whilst highlighting the company’s commitment to excellence across both customer-facing and back-office operations.
