• Critical tests and hospital services were denied, citing pregnancy exclusions, despite prior approval assurances.
2. Delayed Approvals and Cancellations:
• Hospital admissions were initially approved but later canceled mid-treatment, leading to life-threatening risks for the insured’s wife and child.

Based on the above, the complaints lodged against Amanah Insurance Group are serious and are violations of KSA laws and regulations.

The Cooperative Health Insurance Law,

As per Article 8, the insurer should cover the expenses for the insured's necessary medical treatment, which the company allegedly failed to do in this case. Furthermore, under Article 11, the insurance company is obliged to provide guidance to the policyholder, which is also violated as accused.

The claim of violation of Article 14 stresses on the point that the insurer should respond to the service provider's approval request within a maximum period of 60 minutes from the time of receiving the request, a regulation that has also been circumvented as per the complaint.

The accused's actions are also in violation of Article 21 of the same law which states that the insurance company is prohibited from putting a burden on the policyholder regarding denied coverage of medical services he/she needs.

Furthermore, the behavior of Amanah Insurance Group arguably infringes upon Saudi Civil Transactions Law. As per Article 1, the rights must be respected, which in this instance is deemed violated. Article 82 states that the contract should be executed in good faith, which is also in question due to the allegations. As per Article 84, if the contract's content contravenes public order or morals, it considered void. Lastly, the company's actions could be sanctioned under Article 206 due to financial harm to policyholder.

The demands of policyholder Khalid Mehmood Khattak are all aligned with his rights according to the KSA laws cited above, and, if proven, Amanah Insurance Group is possibly liable for the breaches of the clauses from both the laws mentioned. The accused may be liable to cover the medical costs, compensate for the distress and losses, and could potentially face disciplinary action. This matter falls in the jurisdiction of the relevant authority SAMA (Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority), and a thorough investigation would be needed to validate the claims.
