Facing a large medical bill? A new easy payment plan launched by the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) can help you convert the payment into instalments that you can pay for up to a year.
You can use the Easy Payment Plan (EPP) if you have a credit card issued by any of the eight different UAE banks that have partnered with MOHAP for this initiative, to pay the Ministry’s service fees in instalments over three, six, nine, or 12 months. Here are the details.
Participating banks
This service is available to credit card holders from:
• Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB)
• Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB)
• Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB)
• Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD)
• Emirates Islamic Bank

How to apply for the Easy Payment Plan:
- Make the complete payment for your medical bill through MOHAP.
- The full amount of the fees will be deducted from your credit card.
- You then need to contact your bank to apply for the service. Your bank may then inform you of their specific terms and conditions for any one-time application fees or upper limit to the instalment plan that you need to be aware of.
