What to compare on high-end medical cover
| Focus | Ask on every quote |
|---|---|
| Network | Named hospitals and clinics near home, school, and work; direct billing where you actually go |
| Geography | UAE-only, regional, or worldwide; elective care abroad vs emergency-only overseas |
| Limits & outpatient | Annual aggregate, specialist access, labs, physio, medicines, and co-pays you can live with |
| Maternity & waiting | Antenatal and delivery caps, newborn cover, and written waiting periods |
| Family fit | Who is on the policy, ages, and any chronic or travel needs that change underwriting |
