Shalom and Welcome to Israel!
You have medical insurance under the CHAI STUDENT INSURANCE plan. This plan offers the best of both worlds – medical coverage through the Israel Kupat Cholim system, together with our specialized private care.
1) Coverage is through Kupat Cholim Maccabi, one of Israel’s leading national health insurance plans. After arrival, you will receive a Maccabi card, entitling you to obtain medical treatment at your local Maccabi clinic and at Maccabi clinics country wide. Click here for Maccabi website
2) Coverage is according to the Israel Health Basket of medical services.
This includes:
- All doctor / specialist visits
- Emergency / urgent hospitalization and ER (In most cases, a referral from Maccabi is required, otherwise you may have to submit full payment)
- Prescription medication
- Laboratory and x-ray services
- Emergency ambulance coverage (coverage is only applicable if participant was hospitalized)
- 24/7 call center.
- Telemedicine services.
Please note:
- There is a small deductible for medication and some medical services. This deductible is paid by the student. Details
- There are certain medications and conditions which may require signing a waiver and that would exclude those things from the policy.
- Exclusions: dental care, eyewear, pregnancy and birth, mental health conditions, work related accidents, motor accidents (covered by Israeli law) and extreme sport, drug / alcohol related accidents and illness.
- Pre Existing: Students with pre-existing conditions will be charged an additional fee of $75. In such a case, some coverage for the pre-existing condition, including medication, will be provided by the insurance. In the event that Maccabi will not accept a student due to medical conditions, we will attempt to find another suitable insurance plan.
