Many UAE insurance policies cover home dialysis, but the level of cover and the approval process vary considerably between insurers.
What to know
- Coverage usually needs pre-authorisation from your insurer with a nephrologist's justification letter.
- Ask specifically what is covered: machine, consumables, nursing hours and technical support are sometimes handled separately.
- Compare against your current total cost, including transport and time away from work.
- Trivita's coordination team prepares the documentation insurers ask for — ask us before you apply.
