Posted on Mar 12, 2012 by Sergio Ulloa (G+)

Insurance policyholders in the Emirate of Dubai could soon enjoy greater efficiency and transparency when filing a claim following the launch of a new electronic database system by the government this week. The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) announced on Sunday that they had officially launched their electronic website portal for health insurance claims in Dubai. The scheme, administered by local healthcare informatics and consulting firm Dimensions Healthcare solutions, is expected to be used by all hospitals and clinics in the Emirate. In its initial phase, the DHA database will cover the claims made under the Dubai government's health insurance program, commonly referred to as Enaya, but could eventually be extended to policyholders enrolled with other insurance providers across the Emirate as well. It is the DHA's long term objective to ensure that every claim in Dubai is captured and backed up electronically to help minimize insurance fraud and abuse, and improve quality of life and healthcare outcomes across the Gulf.
