You need to be more specific:

What is the scope of coverage required i.e. medical, dental, maternity etc?  which countries, which hospital panels etc?

In most cases, the employer provides medical insurance.  If you purchase yourself then it does cost depending on what you want.

Medical/dental insurance in UAE. What is the price range for that? I just need to have an idea.

As I said, depends on the coverage but you can get it for as little as 2000 AED a year up to 14-15K a year.  I repeat again, it depends on what you want to be covered for.

What do you mean medical status?  if your insurance has expired, it has expired.  There is nothing more that you have to do.

Yes but if you are changing visa now i.e. cancelling dependent and going for employment, the status will be adjusted accordingly.  Medical insurance fine is applicable only if you continue on the dependent visa.   Up to you if you want to renew it before changing but why pay for a policy that you won't use.
