Physiotherapy Insurance Dubai | How to Claim Ultrasound at RamaCare
Is Ultrasound Therapy Covered by Insurance in Dubai?
Does your UAE health insurance cover ultrasound therapy ? Learn about direct billing with NextCare, AXA/GIG, and Daman, plus a step-by-step guide to reimbursement claims.
Yes, under Dubai Health Authority (DHA) regulations, physiotherapy—including therapeutic ultrasound therapy is a covered benefit in most standard and premium health insurance plans. However, coverage levels and "Direct Billing" availability vary depending on your specific network and provider.
The "Quick Check" for Coverage (2026 Rules):
- Standard Plans: Often cover 6 to 10 sessions per year.
- Co-payment: Most plans require a 10% to 20% co-pay (the amount you pay at the clinic).
- Referral Requirement: You typically need a referral from a GP or Specialist before insurance will approve physiotherapy sessions.

Direct Billing vs. Reimbursement: Which is Better?
At RamaCare Polyclinic, we aim to make your recovery stress-free by offering both options.
1. Direct Billing (Cashless)
We settle the bill directly with your insurance provider. You only pay your designated co-payment at our front desk in Jumeirah 1.
Best for:
Patients with providers in our network (NextCare, GIG, Daman, etc.).
What you need:
Your Emirates ID and a valid insurance card.
✓ Zero paperwork • Instant approval • Pay only co-pay
2. Reimbursement (Pay and Claim)
If we are "out-of-network" for your specific plan, you pay the session fee upfront, and we provide the legal documentation for you to get your money back from your insurer.
Best for:
International plans or restricted local networks.
Turnaround:
Usually takes 14 to 21 days for the insurer to deposit the funds into your bank account.
✓ All documents provided • Full support • Claim guidance

If you are filing a reimbursement claim, follow this 4-step "Golden Rule" to ensure your claim is not rejected by the insurance company.
Get a Referral
Most UAE insurers (like Sukoon or Daman) require a referral from a licensed GP or Orthopedic Specialist. The referral must state "Physiotherapy including Ultrasound" to be valid.
Collect the "Big Three" Documents
Before leaving RamaCare, ensure our admin team gives you:
- Official Reimbursement Form: Duly signed and stamped by our DHA-licensed physiotherapist.
- Itemized Invoice: Showing the specific code for "Therapeutic Ultrasound."
- Detailed Medical Report: Explaining your diagnosis (e.g., Sciatica or Sports Injury) and the necessity of treatment.
Submit via Mobile App
In 2026, most Dubai insurers prefer submissions through apps like MyGIG, Lumi (NextCare), or the Daman App. Upload clear photos of your documents and your Emirates ID.
Keep Your Receipts
Keep the original physical copies for at least 6 months. Insurers occasionally request the originals for random audits.
Pro Tip: Taking these 4 steps seriously can improve your claim approval rate by over 90%.
