Health Insurance in Israel for Tourists

1. Do they understand the "fine print" of the policy they are selling-in fact have they ever read it?

2. Are you sure that any special conditions or medical risks you have are properly covered?

3. Can your Travel agent/Kupal Cholim extend your policy if you are unexpectedly delayed overseas?

4. Most important question: Will the Travel agent or Kupal Cholim receptionist deal with your claims when you return?

Answers:

• At Egert & Cohen, we pride ourselves at selling the appropriate product for your maximum cover. (Examples:Pregnancy upto week 36, heart conditions, older citizens)
• We can also sell travel policies to tourists or residents who don't have Kupat Cholim and are usually excluded from the standard policies.
• Most important, we offer courteous and professional service in dealing with your claims, whether they are refunds on bills you have paid or direct settlement to hospital overseas.

We're here when you need us!

Insurance policy - Yes

Proper coverage - No

Our tip:

1) Check if your mortgage policy has cover for Third Party damage. (If it's through a bank-connected insurance agency... it probably doesn't!)

2) Switch to a private insurance agent who will ensure you are properly covered.
