Can a doctor prescribe medication over video in Dubai?+
Yes. Our DHA-licensed doctors can issue digital prescriptions during a video consultation, including most routine medications. Controlled medication requires an in-person review per UAE regulations.
Is telemedicine covered by insurance in Dubai?+
Most international insurers (Cigna, Allianz, AXA, Bupa Global) and many UAE plans now cover telehealth. We issue a coded invoice you can submit for reimbursement.

When should I book telemedicine vs an in-person visit?+
