Source: Middle East Insurance Review | Jan 2018
Pacific Prime Insurance Brokers has opened its own office in Dubai after several years of working through a partnership in the emirate.
The new office is fully licensed as a broker of both local and international health insurance in Dubai. The insurance plans on offer through Pacific Prime Dubai include Dubai Health Authority (DHA)-compliant health insurance plans, maternity insurance, family medical insurance, group medical insurance and travel insurance.
Pacific Prime has been monitoring the market closely ever since the DHA’s announcement of the new mandatory health insurance scheme whose implementation was rolled out between 2014 and early 2017.
Pacific Prime Dubai will be supported by over 100 staff members who will be providing sales, support and administrative services to individuals, families, businesses, and other organisations. Its insurance advisers will provide advice, price comparisons featuring plans from major Dubai insurers, and free price quotations.
Since 2000, Pacific Prime has specialised in providing international health insurance solutions. Now serving over 130,000 members worldwide, the Hong Kong-based company also has offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Singapore and Bangkok. M
