Employee Insurance In Saudi Arabia
Employee insurance in Saudi Arabia is a legal and operational necessity for all businesses employing Saudi nationals or expatriates. It covers health insurance, workplace injury, and other mandatory protections that help safeguard your workforce while ensuring company compliance. MFD Services offers end-to-end employee insurance management — from selecting insurance providers to handling enrollments, renewals, and GOSI-related obligations.
Why Employee Insurance Is Important In Saudi Arabia With MFD Services
Providing insurance to employees is more than a benefit — it’s a legal requirement. Without proper insurance, companies risk fines, blocked services on government platforms like Qiwa or Muqeem, and employee dissatisfaction.
MFD Services ensures your workforce is protected and your business stays compliant. We assist with policy setup, document handling, and ongoing insurance tracking for each employee — ensuring no gaps in coverage or regulatory exposure.

Types Of Employee Insurance Required For Businesses In Saudi Arabia
Every business operating in the Kingdom must manage different types of employee coverage, including:
- Cooperative Health Insurance (mandatory for all expats)
- GOSI workplace injury coverage
- Optional supplementary health or life insurance
- Insurance for family dependents (as per policy or benefit plan)
- Specialized coverage for high-risk industries
- Annual renewals and employee additions/removals
MFD helps you select the right coverage package and manage ongoing policy updates and government compliance.
What Are The Legal Requirements For Employee Insurance In Saudi Arabia?
The Saudi Cooperative Health Insurance Council (CCHI) requires every non-Saudi employee to be covered by a valid health insurance policy. The company must also ensure all details are updated on Muqeem, GOSI, and CCHI portals. In addition, GOSI provides mandatory injury coverage for both Saudi and expat employees.
MFD manages your compliance with these insurance regulations, keeping all employee records valid and synced with ministry platforms.
What Documents Are Needed To Set Up Employee Insurance Coverage?
To set up or renew insurance for your employees, we typically require:
- Employee Iqama or national ID
- Employment contract or joining date
- Passport copy (for expats)
- Salary and designation details
- Existing insurance card (if applicable)
- GOSI registration info
- Family documents for dependent coverage
MFD collects, prepares, and submits all necessary data to initiate or renew insurance policies efficiently.

Employee Insurance Cost, Duration, And Process
Estimated Pricing
Health insurance premiums vary based on employee age, nationality, and the chosen plan (basic or comprehensive). Typical annual premiums range from SAR 850 to SAR 2,500 per employee. Supplementary or family coverage is quoted separately. MFD provides detailed cost estimates after reviewing your staff profile.
Estimated Timeline
Policy activation usually takes 2 to 4 business days, provided all data is complete and approved by the insurer. Delays may occur if Muqeem or CCHI platforms flag data inconsistencies or if the insurer requires health declarations.
How The Process Works
MFD begins with a review of your employee list and existing coverage. We then recommend suitable insurance providers and plans, prepare submissions, and coordinate directly with insurers. Once approved, we update policy numbers on Muqeem and share digital cards with your HR team.
How Insurance Coverage Supports Employee Satisfaction And Legal Compliance
Timely and proper insurance gives employees peace of mind and increases retention. It also keeps your company aligned with Saudi law and avoids suspension from Qiwa or Iqama renewal delays. During audits or labor investigations, valid insurance records demonstrate your commitment to employee welfare.
MFD makes sure your coverage works for both your people and your compliance needs.
