I'm torn...on the one hand we've had a good experience with Oman, but not until we'd finished the sign up process. In fact, the process was so painful and long-drawn out we almost backed out.
After it was all set up we've found them to be good from our perspective in HR, but have heard of issues around claims from our staff...that's not ideal.
You don't want staff to be ill - and you certainly don't then want them to suffer stress when a claim is rejected and there is no way to escalate. OK, so this has only happened a could of times, but we're looking at our options to see if we can improve in terms of ongoing support for members with another insurer.
Oman Insurance Company is a well-recognised insurance provider in the Middle East region. The majority of leading hospitals and clinics work with Oman Insurance Company, and are therefore are aware of the policy procedures to ensure efficient claim submissions. SME plans are well priced and flexible, allowing a choice of 3 categories, networks, deductibles, annual limits, area of cover, dental, optical and pharmacy co-insurance.
Companies with as few as 2 employees can opt for group medical insurance and policies can be split across different emirates easily.
Their portfolio size and consistent plans has lead to very stable premium increases, usually in line with inflation.
Oman Insurance also caters to large corporates, and is one of the participating insurers that provide basic health cover to members earning under AED 4K.
The sign-up process can be convoluted, and includes more forms and processes than the majority of their competitors. Also, their internal processes tend to be slow, with limited options for escalations. Claim reimbursements can take around 3 weeks, and medical cards can take over 2 weeks to arrive.
On the plus side, they have a well-designed online portal that allows ease of claim submissions and policy management.
