If you ever need a ‘medical discount programme,’ then QIC Anaya is the way to go

When you arrive in a new country for work, one of the first and most important things to do is to ensure you have easy access to good medical facilities. Fortunately, Qatar has some of the best healthcare facilities in the world.

Healthcare in Qatar is provided primarily by government and private institutions. While state-sponsored healthcare is cheap and effective, huge demand often makes the process laboriously slow.

Compared to government institutions, private hospitals offer quicker healthcare options. However, the downside is that it tends to be much more expensive. In such a scenario, healthcare insurances become crucial. There are several companies in Qatar that provide such services.

However, these policies have a lot of terms and conditions which limits the final scope of coverage. For example, one may find that several medical-related services are excluded from policy coverage. In some instances, a deductible is added to the policy that the policyholder must pay for seeking financial compensation against a claim. In most cases, the deductible amount remains fixed and does not change based on the claimed amount. Another common practice is to deny policyholders with certain pre-existing medical conditions coverage for some treatments. 

The revolutionary healthcare program by Qatar Insurance Company’s (QIC) Anaya is a brilliant stand-alone alternative and a great addition to those who already have health insurance.

The ‘discount-based healthcare programme’ is priced at QR499 a year, offers steep discounts on all medical and healthcare-related treatments and services in Qatar. The program, making use of a pre-selected network of medical and healthcare providers, helps reduce more than half of a subscriber’s medical and healthcare expenses. While members of the programme will still need to pay for treatment, they will be eligible for hefty discounts through their ‘QIC Anaya’ membership.

QIC Anaya does not in any way restrict a member in terms of usage. It also does not have any exclusions or limits to the services and treatments included under the programme. Members are free to undertake all kinds of treatments that are typically excluded from medical insurance policies. 

Since QIC Anaya offers huge discounts on the total billed amount, it would be prudent to subscribe to it and combine its unique benefits with other existing medical insurances.

Spending QR499 a year on a QIC Anaya membership would be one of the best investment you could make for your own well-being while in Qatar.
