Seha offers optical coverage

Beneficiaries of Seha – the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) can now have prescriptions for their eyeglasses and frames from contracted network providers in the scheme by visiting Magrabi Optical outlets in Qatar.
Seha’s optical coverage includes ophthalmic lenses, spectacle frames, contact lenses and contact lens fitting. Members can get prescribed eyeglasses and lenses for a value up to QR1,000 every two years through Seha’s optical equipment network. Prescriptions from network providers will be honoured on a direct billing basis so that members need not  make cash payments up to QR1,000. Amounts above that limit will have to be settled in cash directly by the member.
Magrabi Optical brings six outlets into the Seha provider network, offering scheme members both choice and convenience when it comes to their optical needs. The complete list of participating outlets can be found at: www.seha.qa.
Seha provides Qatari nationals with comprehensive health insurance coverage for the full range of basic health services, through a network of high quality public and private providers. Coverage includes both in-patient and out-patient services including; preventative care, emergency treatment, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, long-term care, radiology, ophthalmology, laboratory testing and prescription medicines. Dental services are expected to be covered from June this year.
Qatari nationals who wish to use Seha’s services need only to present their Qatar ID when visiting a network provider and during their first visit, they should present details of their residential address. The address details can be found on the plate installed by the Centre for Geographical Information System (CGIS) on all buildings across the country.
