If your card belongs to AXA, MetLife, Bupa, MedRight, Nextcare, GlobeMed, Orient Insurance, Enaya, or Ahly Medical, surgery can be arranged at a hospital contracted with your carrier so your in-network coverage applies. Coverage may be full, partial, or limited to certain services depending on your card tier — which is why the card is verified before a date is set.

The same insurer issues different card classes. One tier may cover inpatient surgery fully, another partially, and another only outpatient and emergency care. The percentage and the covered services are written in your policy schedule, not decided by the doctor or the hospital — so the tier on your specific card is what gets checked, not the company logo.

Cooperation protocols exist with professional syndicates including the petroleum workers, engineers, physicians, and commerce syndicates. The terms differ by syndicate and change over time, so bring your syndicate card to the consultation and the current terms for your syndicate are confirmed for you.

Many corporate and government schemes cover surgery: petroleum-sector companies (such as Petrojet, Enppi, Midor, Sumed, Gasco, Anrpc), banks (such as Arab African International Bank, Bank of Alexandria, Arab Investment Bank), government bodies (such as the General Authority for Health Insurance, the Egyptian Tax Authority), and major private employers (such as Unilever, Ezz Industries, Alexandria National Iron & Steel, Novartis, Telecom Egypt). Your employer's policy schedule defines what is covered — bring your card and the clinic confirms the path.

Your insurance or syndicate card, your national ID, and — if you have it — the policy coverage schedule or your HR contact. With those, the clinic verifies before scheduling: which hospital your card applies at, what your tier covers for the planned procedure, and what (if anything) you would claim back separately with the documentation pack.
