Those insured with the National Health Insurance Company (Daman) will be able to use their Emirates ID to access healthcare services across the company's network in the UAE.
Healthcare providers have been trained to check Daman and Thiqa members' eligibility to receive medical services by using the Emirates ID number through a secure online platform. The platform matches the ID number with the members' profile on Daman's database. These checks can also be made using the members' card number.
Healthcare providers in Daman's UAE network have been testing the platform's functionality since last year to ensure that technical issues and administrative concerns are addressed.
One of the main advantages of the initiative is that it allows members the convenience of carrying one card, Daman said in a Press statement. Customers will continue to be able to use their current health insurance cards to access healthcare services, but they will be phased out at a later stage.
"Most UAE residents already carry their Emirates IDs with them at all times, so we expect that all members will welcome the convenience in using the same card to access healthcare services," saud Daman's chief process officer, Hamad Al Mehya.
