Cigna Healthguard in the Middle East encompasses the entire healthcare lifecycle, from pre-hospitalization to treatment and post-hospitalization. The health insurance plan you select will depend on the regions you need coverage in (GCC countries or worldwide), and the level of hospitals covered in the network will be based on your need and budget.
All three tiers of core health insurance plans have common value-added components, across categories:
- Inpatient and day-patient hospital treatment/accommodation
- Outpatient consultations and tests
- Prescription drugs and supplements
- Mental health care
- Cancer treatment
- Pre-existing and chronic conditions
- Minimum DHA prescribed maternity care
- Out of area emergency cover
In addition to this, you may add modules according to the individual requirements. As a busy officegoer, you may want to add regular checkups with the Health Connect module. If you are planning for family health insurance, then the maternity and newborn care will provide extended support throughout the process. As an expatriate, the medical evacuation and repatriation module might be critical for you.
Then there is the outpatient medical treatment option which adds value to any family unit, especially an extended one, with inclusions like specialist consultations, diagnostic tests, physiotherapy services, adult vaccinations and more.
