Tourist Health Insurance in Israel

Medical insurance for visitors, foreign citizens and returning residents — buy online in 3 minutes

Visitors to Israel are not covered by the national health funds (Kupat Holim). A single ER visit or hospitalization can cost thousands of shekels. Collective Insurance Agency — a licensed Israeli agency since 1992 — offers the two leading tourist policies, Harel Tour & Care and Menora Top Tourists, with an instant price by age and length of stay, English-language purchase and a human agent on WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions

Do tourists need health insurance in Israel?

Visitors are not covered by Israel's national health insurance. Any medical treatment is private and paid in full, so medical insurance for the length of the stay is strongly recommended — and many landlords, universities and employers require it.

What is the difference between Harel Tour & Care and Menora Top Tourists?

Both cover hospitalization, emergency care, doctors, tests and medicines. Harel covers ages up to 80 with a ₪350,000 limit and a choice of Clalit, Maccabi or Harel's network; Menora covers ages 0–75 and lets you insure up to five family members on one form. Prices per day are shown above.

Are pre-existing conditions covered?

No — tourist policies do not cover pre-existing medical conditions. Coverage is for new illness and accidents during the stay.

Can I buy after I have already arrived in Israel?

Yes. You choose the start date when purchasing; the policy can start from the day after purchase, subject to the insurer's terms.

Is the price the same as buying directly from the insurer?

Yes. The price is the insurer's tariff; Collective is a licensed agency and our service — in English, by WhatsApp or phone — is included at no extra cost.
