Securing yourself with health insurance is not just about purchasing a plan and paying the first premium — it’s also important to make sure that your coverage remains active. Regularly checking the status of your policy helps you stay informed about your benefits and avoid unexpected issues during medical emergencies.

Fortunately, verifying whether your health policy is active is simple and can be done online.

In this guide, we’ll explore the different methods to easily check your health insurance.

Ways to Check Your Health Insurance Active Status in the UAE

Here are the top ways to check your health insurance active status online in the UAE —

Emirates ID

Health insurance policies are linked to Emirates ID, which allows hospitals and clinics to check your coverage details by swiping your card. This also makes it easy to verify if your insurance is active and review benefits as well as network coverage.

Since 2017, medical facilities have been equipped with Emirates ID readers to simplify the process. If your policy is newly issued, you need to provide your Emirates ID details to your insurer to complete the linking process.

Insurance Card

While most insurers in the UAE link health insurance to Emirates IDs, some still provide physical insurance cards. You can use this card to check whether your policy is active by simply presenting it at any medical facility. The hospital or clinic will instantly verify your coverage status and provide details about your plan.

If you have both an Emirates ID and an insurance card, either can be used for verification.

Policy Number

Your health insurance policy number is a unique identifier that allows you to check your plan’s status online. Simply visit your insurer’s website, log in using your policy number, and access details such as active status, coverage, and upcoming premium payments.

You can also use this number to verify your policy through insurance marketplaces — simply follow the same login process.

Policybazaar.ae

If you purchased health insurance from Policybazaar.ae, you can easily check your policy status by logging into the official website. Once logged in, go to your health policy to view details, including whether it is active.

An added benefit of buying from Policybazaar.ae is that they notify you 30 days before your policy expires. This gives you ample time to renew or explore other options.

A Quick Recap

Keeping track of your health insurance status is important, especially since active coverage is mandatory in the UAE. If your policy expires, you risk losing important benefits and may face difficulties during medical emergencies.

Whether you check your status online or offline, staying informed and making timely premium payments ensures continuous coverage. This not only saves you the hassle of reapplying but also helps you retain benefits like higher coverage limits and additional bonuses (if any) gained over time.
