Difficult choice - but the right choice

As Now Health wasn't the cheapest option for us, we had to think hard about opting for their solution.

We also had to sell in our choice to the money men.

It was a difficult choice - but in the end it doesn't only come down to cost.

We liked the flex offered by Now Health and we've made the right decision for certain.

Expert Assessment of Now Health

We are impressed with Now Health as they are a strong emerging medical insurance provider that promises quick service with a high-end digital platform. They respond swiftly to market changes with a focus on offering paperless service. Members enjoy all medical insurance related services through the online portal and the mobile app.

Now Health is the only Dubai Health Authority (DHA) approved provider in the UAE to offer an optional inpatient top-up plan. This option enables members to get access to in patient medical treatment anywhere in the world. A great option for any expats not satisfied with the level of cover their employer is offering, who want more of a safety net should the worst happen.

Customer service levels are very high, and most approvals and claims are done well within their stated turn around times. As they operate as the ‘TPA’ and RSA as the insurer, Now Health have a dedicated team in the UAE and also manage their own network, which gives them an element of control that some other Tier 2 providers don’t have.

If you are a business owner or HR professional in the UAE, you’re looking to save money on your employee benefits package and reduce your company medical insurance costs, we will review your current plans and related expenses. Please contact us or call us on +971 (0) 4559 4900.

At AES International, we focus on providing long-term solutions, tailored to an individual organisation’s needs, to help you improve overall employee wellness, drive up productivity and engagement, and enable you to manage your corporate medical insurance spend year on year.
