Urologists accepting Arab Orient Insurance in Amman

Using health insurance with urologists

Many urology clinics in Jordan work with health insurers, so a visit is often straightforward when the clinic is in your policy network and you show your membership card. Some tests and procedures, such as cystoscopy or kidney stone lithotripsy, usually need prior approval, and you may pay a co-payment depending on your card class. Checking your coverage before the appointment helps you avoid surprises at the front desk.

Often covered

• Consultations and follow-up visits at network clinics are often covered, with the co-payment your policy sets.
• Many policies cover basic urine and blood tests and ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder.
• Treatment of urinary tract infections and kidney stones with prescribed medicines is often part of outpatient cover.
• Many policies cover monitoring of benign prostate enlargement when there is a clear medical reason.

Often excluded, limited or needing approval

• Erectile dysfunction treatments and medicines are often excluded or covered only under special conditions.
• Cystoscopy and shock-wave lithotripsy often need prior approval from the insurer before the procedure.
• Elective, non-therapeutic procedures such as circumcision without a medical reason may not be covered by many policies.
• Chronic conditions that existed before you joined the policy often face a waiting period or an exclusion.

Check before you book

• Confirm that the urology clinic is in your policy network and accepts your card class.
• Ask your insurer whether seeing a urologist requires a referral from a general practitioner first.
• Ask what co-payment or deductible you will pay at the clinic for the visit and any tests.
• Bring your insurance card and ID, and ask for an itemised invoice for every test or procedure.
