Medical insurance for tourists and returning residents of israel

Welcome to Israel

 

Medical Insurance Coverage for Tourists and Returning Residents of Israel

​

It is recommended that tourists to Israel and returning residents purchase health insurance to cover medical expenses in Israel, including hospitalization as well as  medical care outside of hospitals. The major advantage of these plans is the access provided to the diverse medical services offered in Israel, without additional charge. Travel insurance policies purchased in your country of origin require the policyholder to pay for medical services in Israel and then request a reimbursement, which may not cover the entire expense. In comparison, our policies offer you peace of mind, from the time you land in Israel until you return home.

 

Those insured with us enjoy a health service network located throughout the country, on two options including:  doctors, laboratories'  facilities, pharmacies and more. 

Harel Insurance Company’s medical services are based on three options:

                ​

Maccabi : A healthcare system through Maccabi Health Care . Maccabi runs a network of
clinics located throughout Israel, from Metulla to Eilat. All Maccabi clinics offer the Insured
the services of nurses, family physicians, pharmacies and laboratories. The Insured may use
the Maccabi Health Care services by presenting a membership number and an ID (as
passport). No need to present a membership card at he time of the service.

​

Clalit : A healthcare system through Clalit Health Services. Clalit runs a network of clinics
located throughout Israel, from Metulla to Eilat. All Clalit clinics offer the Insured the
services of nurses, family physicians, pharmacies and laboratories. The Insured may use the
