Accounting for Clinics & Healthcare Providers
Insurance claims, rejections, doctor revenue shares and a mix of zero-rated and standard-rated services: we keep healthcare books accurate and VAT returns defensible.
We work with polyclinics, diagnostic centres and healthcare groups across the UAE. The pattern is consistent: revenue looks healthy in the practice management system, but insurance rejections, delayed remittances and unreconciled co-payments mean the cash never quite matches.
We bring the clinical system, the insurers and the bank together every month, so you know your real collections, your rejection rate and what each doctor and department actually contributes.

Frequently asked questions
Is VAT charged on healthcare in the UAE?
Preventive and basic healthcare services are zero-rated, as are qualifying medicines and medical equipment. Services that are not preventive or basic healthcare, such as most cosmetic and elective treatments, are generally standard-rated at 5%.
Can a clinic recover input VAT?
Zero-rated supplies are taxable supplies, so a VAT-registered clinic can generally recover input VAT on costs related to them, subject to the normal rules and the new input VAT conditions from October 2026.
How do you handle insurance rejections in the accounts?
Claims are tracked from submission to payment. Rejected claims are either resubmitted or written off, so reported revenue reflects what will actually be collected.
Do you work with healthcare groups across several emirates?
Yes. We consolidate multi-branch and multi-entity groups and produce group-level reporting.
