Foreign visitors, especially tourists, are highly recommended to contact a service company using the phone numbers indicated in the insurance certificate. You should register the insurance case and follow further instructions of the specialists of the insurance company.
All the medical services provided without coordination with the appropriate service centre (insurance company) will be at your expense. Certainly, upon returning home, you have a legal right for compensation of all the expenditures associated with medical services at the expense of the insurance company. However, in such cases, all the responsibility for the problems and risks arisen falls on the tourist.
You can contact a service department of the insurer at any time of the day. Then you should provide your personal data (full name), serial number and expiration date of your insurance certificate. Describe your problem, the type of the assistance required and your contact information to the insurance company employees in detail. Even if you are not able to contact a service department, you should show your insurance certificate to the medical staff. Have no doubt that the medical staff will inform the appropriate service company.
Remember that travelling is not only a lot of fun and positive as something unforeseen can always happen. Think about insurance when planning a tourist trip to the Emirates.
