Licences and verification: DHA, DoH and MOHAP in practice
Home healthcare in the UAE is a licensed activity twice over: the doctor holds a personal professional licence, and the company holds a facility licence for home healthcare services. The authority depends on the emirate where the service operates. In Dubai it is the Dubai Health Authority, and you can check any practitioner on the DHA's public licence search. In Abu Dhabi and Al Ain it is the Department of Health, with its own professional register. Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain fall under the Ministry of Health and Prevention, MOHAP, which also runs a searchable registry.
Verification takes two minutes and is worth doing once per vendor rather than per visit: ask for the doctor's name and licence number when the booking is confirmed, and check it against the relevant register. A legitimate operation will send this without friction; hesitation is information. Cross-border wrinkle: a Dubai-licensed doctor visiting you in Sharjah should be working under an arrangement licensed for that emirate, which is one reason marketplace platforms that verify vendor licensing before listing them, tamam does this across its health categories, save you the homework.
What you should expect to pay
Rather than publishing one rate, tamam shows what multiple verified vendors charge for sick leave certificate so you can pick the tier that fits the job and the budget.

These bands reflect typical jobs. Unusual scope gets quoted individually, still before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
What medications can a visiting doctor actually prescribe?
Most standard categories: antibiotics, antipyretics, gastro and respiratory medication, and refills of routine chronic-condition drugs, usually issued as an e-prescription a pharmacy can deliver. Narcotic and controlled-class medications are the exception; they require special prescription formats and pharmacy dispensing with ID, and cannot be handed over from the doctor's bag.
Is a home visit safe for a baby or should I always go to hospital?
For most childhood illness in children over three months, fever, coughs, ear pain, gastro, a home pediatric assessment is appropriate and often produces a better exam than a stressed late-night waiting room. Hard exceptions go to hospital: any fever under three months of age, laboured breathing, unusual drowsiness, refusal of all fluids, or a rash that does not fade under pressure.
Will my insurance cover a home doctor visit?
Most home visits are paid out of pocket, and some insurers reimburse afterwards depending on your plan's outpatient terms. If you intend to claim, tell the vendor before the visit so the invoice and visit summary are itemised with a diagnosis, and keep the doctor's licence number on the paperwork, since reimbursement teams check it.
Should I book telehealth or a physical visit first?
Telehealth first for anything ambiguous. It costs a fraction of a visit, resolves a meaningful share of cases with advice or an e-prescription, and when a visit is still needed, the doctor arrives pre-briefed and properly packed. Skip straight to a visit when a physical exam is obviously required, such as ear pain, chest sounds, dehydration or wound care.
Can one visit cover two sick family members?
Usually, and it is the economical way to handle a household virus, since second-patient add-ons commonly run AED 150-400 against a full second call-out. Declare every patient when booking, though; each person needs their own assessment, documentation and prescription, and the doctor needs to allocate enough time on site.
