What health insurance covers
- Under Law No. 22 of 2021 on health services, as the Ministry of Public Health put it: “The Ministry of Public Health said that making health insurance mandatory as part of the law means that all residents and visitors must have health insurance through the insurance companies registered by the Ministry of Public Health to provide them with basic health services.” (QNA)
- QIC's medical plans list among their dental benefits: “Orthodontics with 6-month waiting period” (QIC) “While your policy is purchased through QIC, it’s issued and managed by QLM, a licensed medical insurance provider.” (QIC)
- QLM's policy exclusions: “All dental related services or treatment other than those covered under the eligible expenses, dental charges relating to prosthesis and false teeth are excluded howsoever caused” (QLM) Whether braces or aligners count as an eligible expense is set in each plan's table of benefits, so check yours.
What the Ministry of Public Health says about care at a distance
Aligner brands that monitor treatment through an app work partly at a distance. What matters is who examines you in person and who answers for your treatment. In the regulator's own words:
- The Department of Healthcare Professions' telemedicine regulation. “The telemedicine practitioners must be licensed in Qatar through an employer in the governmental, semi-governmental or private sectors.” (MoPH DHP) “Healthcare services provided by unlicensed practitioners inside Qatar is considered illegal” (MoPH DHP) On what remote care cannot do: “Since the practitioner providing care remotely cannot conduct any physical examinations or clinical measurements” (MoPH DHP)
- One brand's own account. Smileneo says: “With our partner clinics in Qatar, we transform smiles in 6 months on average.” (Smileneo) and “Both Smileneo | makeO Invisible Braces and its telehealth platform (including mobile app) are licensed by the local health authorities.” (Smileneo) It does not name the authority.
