“Hello, I want to visit Al Qassimi Hospital in Sharjah. Please confirm whether my case needs emergency, referral, outpatient appointment, health card, insurance, documents, fee payment, medical report request or another EHS service route.”
Which care route should you choose?
Al Qassimi Hospital is not only a routine clinic. It is a tertiary/referral hospital with emergency, inpatient, ICU, cardiac, surgical, diagnostic and specialized outpatient services. The right route depends on urgency and referral status.
Use for referred specialist care, follow-up, cardiology, internal medicine, neurology, nephrology, orthopedics, ENT, ophthalmology, dermatology or other stable conditions.
Use for severe chest pain, stroke symptoms, serious breathing difficulty, heavy bleeding, trauma, fainting, seizure, poisoning, severe allergic reaction or sudden severe symptoms.
Use when referred from emergency, primary health center, another EHS hospital, inpatient department or intensive care route.
If symptoms are severe, sudden or life-threatening, use emergency. If the condition is stable but specialized, call EHS and ask whether you need a referral before booking. If you already have a referral, carry it with Emirates ID and health card/insurance details.
How to book an appointment at Al Qassimi Hospital
EHS appointment booking can be done through digital services and the EHS app. Specialized outpatient clinics in hospitals usually require a referral from emergency, primary healthcare centers, inpatient departments or other EHS hospitals. Do not assume every specialist clinic is direct walk-in.
- Check urgency first: severe symptoms should go to emergency, not routine appointment booking.
- Call EHS: dial 800 8877 and ask if your case needs a referral, health card, insurance or direct appointment.
- Use EHS digital route: log in with UAE PASS through EHS website/app where appointment services are available.
- Confirm referral requirement: specialized outpatient clinics usually need a referral from emergency, primary healthcare or another EHS service route.
- Confirm appointment message: appointments are usually confirmed by SMS or email. Save the confirmation.
- Arrive early: EHS outpatient guidance says to arrive before the appointment and check in through the Customer Happiness Center.
- Bring documents: valid Emirates ID, health card or valid insurance, referral documents, previous reports, scans and medication list.
- Ask about fees: fees can depend on health card type, insurance and case classification.
Do not arrive for a specialized clinic without checking referral rules. For many EHS hospital clinics, a referral is part of the process. Calling first can save a wasted trip.
Fees, health card and insurance questions
Al Qassimi Hospital is an EHS government hospital, so fee handling is different from private hospitals. EHS guidance for specialized outpatient clinics says service fees are applied case-by-case according to health card type and valid health insurance if any. Emergency service fees depend on case classification and insurance category.
| Service area | What affects the cost? | Question to ask before service |
|---|---|---|
| Specialized outpatient clinic | Referral route, health card type, insurance, service category and tests required. | “Do I need a referral, and what fee applies with my health card or insurance?” |
| Emergency service | Triage level, severity, insurance, treatment, tests, medicines and admission need. | “When stable, can billing explain the emergency case category and fees?” |
| Inpatient admission | Medical condition, ward/ICU need, referral source, insurance and case-by-case EHS fees. | “What documents and coverage details are needed for admission billing?” |
| Laboratory and imaging | Test type, referral, urgency, insurance, health card status and clinical need. | “Is this test covered, and when will the report be available?” |
| Cardiac catheterization / cardiac care | Referral, emergency status, procedure type, admission, ICU and insurance/eligibility. | “What approvals, referral papers and cost coverage apply to this cardiac service?” |
| Medical report request | Report type, language, purpose, patient consent and EHS service rules. | “What is the medical report request process and expected timeline?” |
Ask the Customer Happiness Center or billing desk to explain whether your case is billed under health card, valid insurance, emergency classification, referral or self-payment. Keep payment receipts and appointment confirmations.
