Having just left Emirates after 11 years I have nothing but praise for the medical cover provided by the company to myself and family.
Yes there is red tape and bureaucracy, but overall, all medical and dentistry procedures were covered. Overseas medical expenses and claims were dealt with, and paid into my monthly salary.
Back in the real world just to get my local GP to take 2 minutes of his time to write a presciption costs AUD60 !! I have also been quoted AUD1,700 for route canal treatment......Free at Emirates.
