Which UAE Insurance Plans Cover Prosthetics and Orthotics?

What Documentation Is Required?

To claim insurance for prosthetics or orthotics in UAE, you typically need:

1. Physician referral — from a licensed specialist (orthopaedic surgeon, neurologist, or rehabilitation physician)
2. Clinical report — stating the diagnosis, amputation level or condition, and medical necessity
3. Pre-authorization approval — submitted by the orthotics provider before the device is made
4. provider certification proof — confirming the provider is professionally certified (Steps Creators is a qualified clinic)
5. Cost breakdown — itemized invoice from the provider
