MEDICAL INSURANCE
About the Policy
Through a partnership with a leading Israeli insurance provider, Harel, travelers from abroad traveling on an Authentic Israel-organized program can obtain local health insurance in Israel that offers:
- No deductibles or co-pays
- No claims or paperwork to submit for care
- No out-of-pocket payments – all valid claims are paid directly by the insurer
- Coverage for hospitalization, prescription medication, x-rays, emergency dental care, doctor visits, and medical specialists (pre-existing conditions are not covered)
- 24-hour English-speaking call center and contracted English-speaking doctors
- A large list of experienced English-speaking doctors and specialists
Even if you have coverage at home that extends abroad, you would still need to pay out of pocket in Israel, and then file a claim with your home insurance provider once you return. The same is true for travel insurance policies that include a medical benefit. In other words, the Harel local medical insurance policy is a convenient way to receive medical care in Israel without hidden costs or paperwork headaches. This policy does not cover injuries related to “extreme sports” (ATVing, rappelling, surfing, etc.) or self-inflicted injuries.
