Plan your care

Healthcare is complicated, and so is insurance. You can avoid getting unexpected bills by having authorization from your insurance company before a scan, test or treatment. That is why you may be asked to wait while your insurance company pre-authorizes a last-minute service. While we ask for feedback from your insurance company as soon as possible, reviews may not be immediate.  

We understand this can be frustrating and inconvenient, especially for those with a tight travel schedule. However, this important step can influence future coverage decisions by your insurance company. If you have questions about your coverage, speak to the Financial Clearance Center team. 

If you or your family member has been diagnosed with cancer, you will face a lot of difficult questions. Where should you go for care? What are your treatment options? 

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi has a dedicated team ready to guide you. We will answer your questions and match you with the best doctors and services for your needs. 

Our International Patient Services team will coordinate with you or your family, to schedule the services you have requested. There is no referral needed. We can also answer your questions related to finances, health insurance, and medical records.
