Adding Dependents to Health Insurance — Process and Recommendations

I'm looking to add my spouse and child to my health insurance plan and would appreciate guidance from anyone who's been through the process. My current situation: - I'm on a group medical plan through my employer (Daman national health insurance) - My wife recently arrived on a dependent visa - We have a 2-year-old who also needs coverage Specific questions: 1. Can dependents be added to an employer plan, or do I need to arrange a separate policy? 2. If I need a separate policy, which insurers offer good family plans in Abu Dhabi? I've been looking at Daman and Allianz. 3. What's the typical timeline for activation after applying? 4. Are there any age-related restrictions or medical screenings required for dependents? 5. How does maternity coverage work if we're planning for a second child? Any insights on the process, costs, or recommended providers would be very helpful. Thank you.
