Pre-Existing Condition is a coverage limitation included in a medical insurance policy which states that certain physical or mental conditions, either previously diagnosed or which would normally be expected to require treatment prior to issue, will not be covered under the new policy for a specified period of time. Individual Medical Policies and Group Medical Policies of limited size are normally subject to this Condition.

Pre-existing & Chronic Conditions are subject to declaration of the same on Medical Application Form (MAF).

All pre-existing medical conditions should be declared in the medical application form and is covered without waiting period subject to medical underwriting, policy terms, conditions, benefits, and exclusions.

Undeclared pre-existing conditions will not be covered during the policy period and are normally underwritten at renewal subject to policy terms, conditions, benefits, and exclusions.

Some of the documents which you will need to submit when filing for your medical claim reimbursement include:

Duly filled out claim form of the concerned insurance company / TPA, signed and stamped by the treating doctor with beneficiary signature.
All official itemized invoices with the service details.
Payment proof such as official receipts, paid stamps, card payment slips, etc.
Prescription from the treating doctor for all the medications availed and for optical items.
All the diagnostic reports including but not limited to Laboratory and Radiology reports.

A health insurance policy must be ideally renewed before the policy expiry date. Most insurers also provide a grace period after the policy expiry date for renewal of health insurance. If a policy holder fails to renew the health insurance, there might be consequences as follows:

Loss of coverage

Waiting periods will be applied

Costs may get higher

It gives financial security and peace of mind when unexpected incidents occur involving clients, visitors, or the general public.

Business insurance policies typically run for a 12-month period (with some UAE policies valid for 13 months to align with RTA vehicle registration). You pay a premium up-front, and in return, the insurer covers eligible losses up to the policy’s limits if an insured event occurs during the policy period.

 

Premiums vary based on factors such as:

  • The type of insurance and level of coverage

  • Value of the insured asset (e.g., vehicle or property)

  • Age and experience of the insured

  • Past claims history

  • Add-ons or optional benefits chosen
    (For motor insurance specifically, factors like car model, age, and driving record affect premiums.)

To make a claim:

  1. Inform the claim desk at InsurancePolicy.ae.

  2. Provide necessary documents (e.g., police reports, medical bills, photos).

  3. Insurancepolicy.ae will submit the claim on your behalf and assist you throughout the process.
  4. Follow your insurer’s claim process for assessment and settlement.
    Detailed steps vary by insurance type — contact us for more details.

If you cancel a policy before expiry and haven’t made a claim, you may be eligible for a refund on the unused premium, depending on the type of policy and how long it has been active. Any refunds are processed per the terms of the policy and insurer’s rules. (Your Car Insurance FAQ shows how cancellation works for a specific line.)

Life insurance

Life insurance is a financial protection plan that provides a lump-sum payout (called the sum assured) to your nominated beneficiaries in the event of your death during the policy term. Some life insurance plans also offer savings or investment benefits.

Critical illness cover is a living benefit that provides a lump-sum payout upon diagnosis of a specified serious medical condition, such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke. You are covered for 36-38 illnesses under various plans available. It is essential for protecting your financial well-being, helping cover medical costs, ongoing expenses, and financial commitments when you are unable to work due to a major illness.

Permanent & total disability cover provides a lump sum if you are rendered completely and permanently unable to work due to an accident or serious illness. This cover is crucial for safeguarding your financial future, as it helps manage ongoing living expenses, repay debts, maintain your family’s lifestyle, and fund long-term financial obligations, ensuring stability even when you can no longer earn an income.

Life insurance helps secure your family’s financial future by covering expenses such as:

  • Daily living costs

  • Outstanding loans or mortgages

  • Children’s education

  • Medical or funeral expenses
    It ensures your loved ones remain financially protected even in your absence.

At InsurancePolicy.ae, we help you compare and choose from:

  • Term Life Insurance – Pure protection for a fixed period

  • Whole Life Insurance – Lifetime coverage with savings benefits

  • Endowment Plans – Protection plus guaranteed maturity benefits

  • ULIPs / Investment-Linked Plans – Insurance combined with investment

  • Critical Illness Riders – Additional protection against major illnesses

Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years). If the insured passes away during the term, the nominee receives the payout. It is the most affordable form of life insurance.

The ideal coverage depends on:

  • Your income

  • Family size and dependents

  • Outstanding loans or liabilities

  • Future goals (education, marriage, retirement)
    A common guideline is 10–15 times your annual income, but our advisors can help calculate the right amount for you.

Life insurance is available to:

  • UAE residents (including expatriates)

  • Salaried and self-employed individuals

  • Individuals within the insurer’s eligible age range
    Valid residency and income proof may be required.

In many cases, yes. Medical tests help insurers assess health risks. However, some policies may offer no-medical or simplified underwriting for lower coverage amounts or younger applicants.

If you miss premium payments, your policy may lapse and coverage will end. Some insurers offer a grace period or policy reinstatement option if action is taken within a certain time.

Most life insurance policies include accidental death coverage by default. Some insurers also offer enhanced benefits through an accidental death rider, which provides an additional payout.

Yes, most life insurance policies in the UAE provide worldwide coverage, but it's essential to confirm the scope and exclusions in your policy documents.
