The economic powerhouses of the GCC are magnets for ambitious professionals. But with so much competition for talent, how can your business stand out? A top-notch employee benefits package, with medical insurance at its core, is a game-changer. This article, sheds light on the options and empowers you to choose the perfect plan for your team.
Let’s explore the different types of medical coverages that are available in the region:
Basic Medical Coverage: Covers essential illnesses, emergency treatments, and generic medications. Includes basic maternity, cancer treatments, and chronic conditions, but with limited benefits, restricted networks, and higher co-pays.
Enhanced Medical Coverage: Offers additional benefits, including advanced treatments like organ transplants, and specialized therapies. Wider networks, higher limits, lower co-pays, and potential add-ons like dental, vision, wellness, alternative medicine, and mental health.
Now that we know the different types of medical coverages, what are the factors that should be taken into consideration while choosing the right plan for your business.
1. Importance of Employee Demographics
Your employees have diverse needs based on age, family size, health history, and lifestyle. Understanding their demographics allows you to tailor a plan that caters to their individual needs, like providing maternity care for young families or chronic disease management for older employees.
