MY HEALTH CARE DOES COVER MY ILLNESS :( - need dermatologist for immunotherapy

Hello alll!

I am returning back to Dubai in August after a 2 year break back in the Uk. And very recently I have been diagnosed with a skin condition that requires me to be on immunosuppressants and steroids.
I have done my research and I know that these drugs can be brought into the country with the correct documents. HOWEVER!!!
My insurance doesn’t cover immunotherapy! An my company have basically said it’s something I’ll have to pay for.
Has anyone paid for something like this? And can recommend a good dermatologist or give a price on how much it’s going to cost me??

I’m very worried the price is going to outweigh the benefits of going.
TIA - a very worried lady

Sorry I can't help much on this - but I have a question... Will you be moving here with a partner? He may have better insurance that you can also be covered by... I'm on my husband's insurance despite being sponsored by my company as it's much better. Also, ask your employer if there's an option to upgrade your insurance - they pay the standard package, and then out of your salary they deduct the additional amount to upgrade to a plan that will include coverage. That may work out considerably less over time
