Usually companies have policies and annual contracts with them and they cater medical insurance to employees and their family members. The employees don't have to think about it.

NCCI (Tawaniya) is no doubt considered the best. It's owned by the famous world saudi personality, one of 10 richest in the world and a big-time business tycoon, Prince Waleed bin Talal.

Bupa, Medgulf the other good ones.

I'm not sure but do talk to your company about the possibility. When a company says 'family', they mean wife+2 (to 4) kids. What if.....

My 2 cents: Tawuniya.

Btw, If you buy a car, it's necessary to get insured. That cost will be on you. Tawuniya will be good to go with for that also.

I am unable to find any link on Tawuniya website for getting quotation of this !!..:(

:) That's one of the main flaws in the IT structure of KSA. You'll hardly find anything updated online. Even support emails: I'm pretty they take it as nafals to reply.

There is a branch on Corniche Road close to the parking of Tamimi market. Just drop by as soon as you get there in Khobar.

Dear All
Please beware of insurance policy from Medgulf. I have an insurance policy from Medgulf.Now i am fed up for this.List of provided network clinic name are available.But if you approach the clinic or hospital ,they have one secret code by saying "IDH".If your card is this type.You will not get atleast a panadol without approval.If you send for approval will take atleast 2 days.Most of the case was disapproved.
