In Israel, every citizen is entitled to state health insurance which is given to him by virtue of his membership in one of the health funds. In addition, every person is entitled to purchase supplementary health insurances from the health funds and private health insurances after the insurance and to expand the health coverage provided to him according to his wishes and needs. But what about tourists who come to Israel for a vacation or a visit?
It is recommended that tourists arriving in Israel for a limited period and returning residents who have arrived in Israel for a short time purchase a health insurance policy for tourists, which offers medical coverage for people staying in Israel for a limited period.

Common questions
What types of insurance are there?
The types of policies are divided according to the population for which the policy is intended:
Health insurance for tourists - intended for anyone who comes to visit Israel for a fixed period of time - tourists who come for a trip or vacation, clergymen and clergy who come to visit the holy places, and teenagers and students who come to Israel for studies for short and long periods.
Health insurance for returning residents - intended for residents of Israel in the past who stayed abroad for a long time and did not maintain their state health insurance rights. Returning residents can purchase the insurance and take care of health coverage until the procedures for renewing the normal insurance are completed.
Health insurance for foreign workers - intended for foreign workers who come to work in Israel in agriculture, nursing or construction, and were not brought to Israel by a professional union that takes care of them for health insurance.
What coverages does a health insurance policy for tourists include?
A health insurance policy for tourists provides health insurance for a short period that allows the insured to receive medical services in Israel.
The policy includes coverage for receiving medical advice, performing laboratory tests, x-rays, EKG, casts and bandages and dental treatments. Also, the insurance includes coverage for the tourist/guest for medical expenses for inpatient and non-inpatient medical tests and services and medications, all in accordance with the terms of the policy, the restrictions and deductible costs defined therein.
Is it possible to purchase health insurance for tourists for any period we want?
The insurance period is limited to a certain number of days, determined by the insurance company, while different insurance companies define the length of the possible insurance period according to the age of the insured. In addition, the tourist policies provide an option to extend the insurance for an additional period, with a limit to the maximum number of days, also fixed in the policy conditions.
Can the policy be extended to additional coverages?
You can purchase extensions to the tourist insurance policy and extend the coverage even to cases that are not included in the original policy. Among the proposed extensions you can find the following extensions:
Medical flight - a flight from Israel directly to the country of origin of the insured in a normal aircraft service accompanied by a medical team or in a special plane medically adapted to the condition of the insured.
Loss of organs - coverage in case of bodily injury caused as a result of a sudden, one-time and unforeseen event, which led to the complete, anatomical or functional loss of an organ or limb or parts thereof.
