The Council of Health Insurance and the Saudi Insurance Authority began implementing this decision, requiring employers to provide insurance for domestic workers if their number exceeds four.
The general requirements for applying benefits and coverage under the policy include submitting a medical disclosure form, obtaining approval from the health insurance company, and insuring all workers.
This mandatory health insurance initiative is part of the Council of Health Insurance and the Insurance Authority‘s efforts to ensure comprehensive care, prevention, justice, transparency, and excellence in performance for all stakeholders.
The decision aims to achieve comprehensive health care, sustain health coverage, and encourage health insurance companies and healthcare providers to develop new products and create job opportunities in medical and non-medical specialties.
