Pricing Guides — Frequently Asked Questions
Which pricing guide should I use?
Choose the guide that best matches your situation. If you do not have health insurance, start with the 'Without Insurance' guide. Tourists and visitors should use the 'For Tourists' guide. Expats with employer-provided insurance will find the 'For Expats' guide most relevant. If you are looking for the most affordable care, use the 'Budget Healthcare' guide. Expecting parents should start with the 'Maternity Costs' guide.
Are the prices in these guides accurate?
Prices are indicative ranges based on the DOH Mandatory Tariff (Shafafiya) methodology, DHA DRG parameters, and market-observed data as of March 2026. Actual costs depend on the specific facility, doctor, clinical complexity, and your insurance plan. Always confirm the quote directly with the provider before proceeding.
Do these guides cover all UAE cities?
Yes. Each guide includes pricing data for all 8 major UAE cities: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain, and Al Ain. You can view city-specific pricing by clicking into any guide and selecting your city.
How often are these pricing guides updated?
Pricing data is reviewed and updated regularly based on the latest DOH tariff publications, DHA pricing updates, and market-observed changes. The current data reflects pricing as of March 2026.
Can I use these guides to estimate my insurance co-pay?
The 'For Expats' guide includes typical co-pay amounts for common procedures. For a more precise estimate, use the insurance cost calculator on individual procedure pages, where you can select your specific insurance plan and get a personalised out-of-pocket estimate.
