Are you familiar with the health care system in Israel?The National Health Insurance Law states that every citizen of the State ofIsrael is entitled to health care. Accordingly, the government has put togethera package (called a basket) of basic health care services including doctorvisits, laboratory services, imaging studies, hospitalizations, rehabilitation,paramedical services (speech therapy, occupational therapy, Etc.) prescriptionsand medical equipment to cover all of your basic health care needs. Theproviders of these services are known as health funds (kupot). All healthfunds provide the same basic basket of services.

The coverage for this basic package is funded by proportionate monthly

payments from your income to the National Health Insurance Fund (BituachLeumi). If you are unemployed, retired or a student, there is a xed monthly

payment. New immigrants receive the basic health care package free for therst six months.

When joining the Leumit Health Fund, the services are provided in Leumitmedical centers by Leumit providers or by private health care specialists whoaccept Leumit members. The services are given free of charge or, at times,with an additional co-payment as set forth by the Health Insurance Law.

What is the background and history of the Leumit Health Fund?The Leumit Health Fund was established in 1933 before the establishment ofthe State of Israel. The same pioneers with the vision to establish a Jewishstate are the ones who helped establish our health fund.

It all started in the kitchen of one physician, Dr. Vinshal. This clinic was the

rst clinic to belong to the Fund. Now, Leumit has:

700,000+ members 2,500 medical and administrative staff members 330 medical centers 100 pharmacies

The Funds rst manager, Mr. Melamedowitz, determined that the Fund would

be open to everyone, regardless of income, age or history of prior illness,and he demanded that the employees and managers relate to the membersof the Fund as acquaintances and not as numbers.

The Fund indeed continues to pursue this path: a Fund whose doors areopen to all residents of Israel, including new immigrants, city, kibbutz andsettlement dwellers, the religious and ultra-religious, minority groups andsecular Israelis.

Back in the 1930s, the Fund's founders determined that the uniqueness of theLeumit Health Fund would be expressed by offering its members the right toselect the fund, physician and medical services of their choice a distinctionthat has remained to this very day. Our guiding motto, Taking care of yourfuture health today, indicates our commitment to preventative health careas an integral part of our community service. The emphasis we put on healthcare excellence, service availability and extensive geographical coverage isall guided by our Director, Mr. Nissim Alon.

Among all other Health Funds in Israel, Leumit was given the top award

for service by The Marker, Israel's foremost business newspaper.

What are Leumits advantages? Leumit is THE ONLY kupa that does not cancel supplemental long-term

health insurance after 5 to 6 years. If (God forbid) a person is inrm, Leumitwill continue paying payments toward their long-term care costs for thelife of the patient.

Only Leumit's longterm health care covers motor vehicle accidents, workaccidents, and terror-related accidents; therefore, this coverage is alsosuitable for younger patients who, unfortunately, on occasion becomedisabled.

Only at Leumit are you able to receive two in-depth courses on preparation

for delivery and child development for FREE. Only at Leumit is there extensive complementary medicine services with an

unlimited number of visits at low subsized rates. Only at Leumit is there the true ability to choose the hospital, specialist,

or surgeon that YOU want. Only through Leumit can YOU choose your own physician. Any specialist

with more than ve years experience in their respective eld qualies forreimbursement, whereas in the other kupot, you are bound to a limitedselection of specialists to choose from.

Only Leumit offers the most extensive and inexpensive child developmentalservices.

Only Leumit offers the most extensive and inexpensive prenatal- andpregnancy-related testing including two 20-week comprehensive ultrasoundsat any doctor that you choose, and free amniocentesis.

Only Leumit offers the most inexpensive copayment for self-referral to anEmergency Room (160nis versus 663nis in other kupot).

Only Leumit offers laser corrective eye surgery at the best hospitals in thecountry and with the best prices. (Leumit Gold:7340nisversus 12000nis).

Sounds great! How do I join the Leumit team?Its easy! Just go to your local post ofce, tell them that you would like to signup for Leumit, sign the form and thats it! Take the form that they give you toyour local Leumit branch, and you will have immediate access to our greatstaff, laboratory services, and medications. There are special packages forthose who sign up for supplementary insurance within three months of

joining Leumit .

Once you have brought in your form, we recommend scheduling a preliminaryappointment with your local Leumit doctor. This appointmentwill better facilitate a discussion of family history and allowyou to get a better sense of how you can work togetherto achieve desired health care objectives. You can alsodiscuss with them what services are available in thebranch, what to do when the clinic is closed, and anyand all other questions or concerns. Please know thatwe at Leumit are excited to work together with you andlook forward to having your family join our family!

How does one navigate through the Israelihealth system?Fortunately, health care in Israel is quite well developed. Access tophysicians, specialists, medications, radiology, is better in Israel than theUS and other Western countries.

How do I see a primary care doctor?If you would like to see a primary care physician such as a pediatrician,

internist or family doctor, you can look in the Leumit directory of physicians,choose a physician of your choice, call the clinic number in the directory andmake an appointment through that branch. Once you are comfortable withthe doctor and the branch, you can get a password from the secretary soyou can make appointments on-line, or you can call the national call-in linewhich is open 7am-10:30pm and make an appointment via phone.Although

not necessarily recommended, only in Leumit can you switch physicians

as much as you like. Most primary care physicians in Leumit will see youon the same day that you call.

How do I see a specialist?The procedure regarding specialists is similar to primary care doctors. Youwill need to nd a name and phone number from the Leumit directory or be

given a name and number by your primary care doctor. Most specialists inLeumit do not require a referral from a primary care doctor. Waiting times tosee specialists vary, depending on the specialty and the location, so if youhave difculty, try another specialist in the same eld or speak with yourphysician or local branch manager for assistance.

How do I fll my prescriptions?

Medicines tend to be less expensive in Israelthan in most Western countries. There isusually a 13-shekel co-pay for most basicmedications, but the cost may be higherfor more expensive medications. No matter

how expensive, the kupa covers 85% ofthe cost of medications in the basket ofservices. Signing up for the supplementalinsurance plans can save you a signicantamount of money on medications. Filling aprescription involves taking the prescription

WITH your magnetic card or temporary permitsheet to the pharmacy, paying the co-pay and

receiving the medication.

The temporary permit will be given to you after you signup for Leumit and bring the sheet from the post ofce

to your local Leumit branch. The branch will order you apermanent Leumit card and give you a temporary permitwhich is good until your permanent card arrives. Notethat some medications can ONLY be bought at Leumitpharmacies. At the top of the prescription will bewritten: Leumit Pharmacy Only ( ).Insiders tip: ask the doctor where you can ll theprescription so that you dont end up having to goto two pharmacies.

What should I do in an emergency situation?If you have a concern that someones life is in danger, then you should go tothe closest emergency room. Please note that the basket of services coversemergency room visits ONLY under very specic circumstances. For example,if you have been referred by your physician, or you are hospitalized, you willbe reimbursed for the visit.

If you are not concerned about a life-threatening situation, then you should:

1. Try to contact your local doctor to get advice about coming to a Leumitmedical center.

2. If it is after hours then try going to a local Leumit urgent care center (list isavailable at your local Leumit branch).

3. Try to go to TEREM, which is a chain of urgent care centers around the

country that have agreements with Leumit. A visit to a doctor at TEREMwill cost you 36 NIS. The phone number for Terem is on the inside coverof this booklet.

Two important points to remember:1. Immunizations and growth records for children are all done through Tipat

Chalav, a government ofce that has a good track record of making sureeveryone is immunized. However, your Health Fund and your physician havenothing to do with this part of your childs medical care, so you will need toupdate your pediatrician/family doctor about what happens at Tipat Chalav.

2. Remember that usually your obstetrician in the Health Fund will do yourroutine gynecology and obstetrics but will not be delivering your baby inthe hospital. Deliveries are all done by midwives who work in the hospital.If you want your own physician to do the delivery, you will have to nd outif they have privileges at the hospital (very few of them have privileges), andyou will have to pay about $2000-3000. Private deliveries are only doneby physicians. Midwives are not authorized to do private deliveries.

In general, most people coming from developed countries wantAVAILABILITY,ACCESS, and CHOICE when it comes to their medical care. We believe thatLeumit is superior in all three aspects.

What is supplementary health insurance(Shaban), and why is it needed?In Israel, the National Health Insurance law hascompiled a Health Basket (basic health services) thatthe health funds are obligated to provide. At Leumit,we believe that you deserve more, as the HealthBasket cannot meet all your medical needs. This iswhy we offer the opportunity to join Leumit Gold, themost advanced and comprehensive supplementalmedical services (shaban) plan in Israel.

What additional benefts are provided by the Shaban?The supplementary insurance will enable you to receive three types ofbenets:

1. A higher standard of medical care by choosing a physician from amongIsraels top specialists, and by choosing a private hospital or medicalservice facility where you will undergo the procedure

2. Services in categories not covered by the Health Basket for example,genetic testing, discounts on dental treatments, orthopedic products andvaccinations for members traveling abroad

3. Extensive treatments even in areas covered by the Health Basket youwill be entitled to receive additional treatments. For example, in the areaof child development your child will be entitled to receive 30 additionaltreatments beyond those mandated by the laws governing the Health

Basket (physical therapy/ occupational therapy/ speech therapy)

What am I entitled to receive?Details of all the rights granted to members of the shaban plan appear in theshaban agreement for Leumit Health Fund Members. For your convenience,however, the following is a short summary regarding the services providedby Leumit Gold and Leumit Silver.

Private surgery includes the right to choose your own surgeon, the rightto choose the hospital, and medical services provided prior to, during,and after surgery

Long-Term Health CareThe increase in life expectancy of long-term care patients underlines the needto look to the future, and means that we have to ensure quality of life anda way of nancing more years of life. Beyond the emotional difculties, thecosts of caring for a person in need of long-term care are very high (from a

few thousand to 20,000 shekels a month or more). In many cases, long-termcare patients become a heavy nancial burden, sometimes borne by theirloving family for many years.

Who is responsible for long-term carepatients in Israel?

The National Insurance Institution (Bituach Leumi)Responsible for implementing the NursingCare Law, which provides in-house nursingcare and assistance with everyday activitiesand running the household (limited to amaximum of 18 22 hours a week)

Who is eligible? Cumulative conditions: Men aged 67+ and women aged 62+ only People living at home or in sheltered

housing who are in need of another personsassistance, which is determined by onesinability to accomplish 3 out of 6 predeterminedactivities of daily living (A.D.L.), or emotional /mentalbreakdown

People whose income is less than 150% of the average wagein the economy

Ministry of Health Participates in the cost of hospitalization in nursing care institutions, only

after close examination of the nancial situation of the invalid, his or herspouse and their children

Those with no nancial means are eligible only after their children bear

most of the expense

What does Leumits long-term health care insurance provide?Leumits long-term health care insurance is additional coverage that

ensures nursing care and assistance to an individual and their family

in the event that one becomes disabled beyond the limited assistance

provided by governmental institutions and other health funds.

The policy applies in many situations in which one is not entitled to nursingbenets under the nursing care law:

People younger than the eligibility age People with above-average income People in nursing homes or hospitals The policy provides coverage for the entire lifespan of the disabled,

caring for his or her needs and easing the burden on the family, while allother health funds provide assistance only up to 5 6 years from onsetof disability.

The policy is the only one of all the health funds that covers disabilityresulting from a trafc accident, a work accident, or a terrorist attack.

In emergencies, the special Leumit Nursing Call Center at Clal Health isat your service 24 hours a day.

Why should young people join this insurance?

Acceptance into the policy is conditional on a declaration of health, andso it is worth joining early, while you are still in good health. A long-term care policy not only covers nursing care in old age, but also

the care required following a trafc accident or work accident. It is important to remember the statistics: 1 in 5 disabled persons in Israel

is under the age of 40.

Being disabled is difcult, both for the patient and for their family and friends.The doctors and staff at Leumit are here to do whatever we can to assist,support, and guide families through their difcult times regardless of age or

nancial abilities.

Complementary (Alternative) MedicineWithin the medical eld, there are several schools of thought that denethe type of care given to a patient, among these are Conventional andComplementaryMedicine.

Conventional Medicine (Western Medicine) is a system in which medicaldoctors and other health care professionals (such as nurses, pharmacists, andtherapists) treat symptoms and diseases using drugs, radiation, or surgery.On the other hand, Complementary Medicine (Eastern Medicine) is practicedusing methods perceived to be more natural such as dietary supplements,

vitamins, herbal preparations, special teas, acupuncture, massage therapy,magnet therapy, spiritual healing, and meditation.

At Leumit, we believe that by offering a combination of both Western andEastern practices, popularly referred to as holistic medicine, we can provideour patients with a level of health care that is unparalleled in its ability to meettheir individual needs while maintaining the highest level of care.

In addition to the standard Conventional Medical practices, complementary

medicine includes Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Tai-Chi, Shiatsu, Reexology,Naturopathy, Yoga, Biofeedback and Chiropractic. A description of eachtechnique can be found below.

HOMEOPATHYHomeopathy is a treatment method that began widespread practice nearlytwo hundred years ago and is based on natural holistic principles. Accordingto its basic tenets, a human being should be regarded as a complete unitconsisting of three levels: the physical, the emotional and the mental. Allthree levels are in constant communication with one another, thus being co-inuenced. Homeopathic medications are made of natural substances thathave been reduced to their purest form.

ACUPUNCTUREAcupuncture supports the ancient philosophy of recognizing the existenceof universal energy. This energy (chi) ows through internal channels in the

body called meridians. Chi is comprised of two complementary opposites:Yin and Yang. It is the goal of all eastern medicine to balance these energieswithin us. By using ne needles to apply pressure along the meridian channels,maximum balance is restored to ones body.

TAI-CHITai-Chi is an ancient Chinese art of motion which enhances one's health andself defense capabilities. It is practiced by slowly going through a sequenceof unique motions. The purpose of Tai-Chi is to return breathing to its natural

rhythm. It assists in developing correct posture,exibility, agility, coordination, concentration

and introspection. Additionally, it canrelieve tension and alleviate pains inthe knees, back, neck and joints.

SHIATSUIn Japanese Shiatsu means pressureapplied by the ngers. In this massagetechnique, the practitioner uses his palms,sts, elbows, knees and feet to relieve thepatient of stress, pain and other ailments.Pressure is applied along the energy lines(meridians) through which the energy (chi)

ows to restore comfort and peace tothe body.

REFLEXOLOGYReexology is a treatment method that has been used for approximately 5000years. This treatment focuses primarily on massaging the pressure points inand around the hands and feet. It is rooted in the belief that each pressurepoint correlates to a different part of ones body. By applying pressure to thearea that correlates to the patients pain, you re-establish a state of peaceand well-being.

NATUROPATHYNaturopathy involves nutritional consultations, which consist of providingnutritional advice, supplements, correct eating habits and natural herbalremedies. This method of treatment examines the person as a completemind-body unit, taking heed of environmental factors, nutrition, activitylevel, lifestyle, hereditary and more. Naturopathy encourages the patientto become an active participant in the healing process and in maintainingfuture health.

YOGAYoga is an ancient Indian practice that has existed for thousands of years. In

Sanskrit, yoga means unication. The purpose of yoga is to unify the body,

mind, and soul through the use of motion, relaxation, exibility and breathingexercises. These techniques aid in both mental and physical health, creatinga purer mind and body. The respiratory aspects of yoga enhance the bodysfunctionality while relaxing the nervous system and increasing circulation.


9/13

16 17

BIOFEEDBACKThe biofeedback process utilizes computerized sensors to relay biologicalinformation about the patient. This feedback allows the patient to learnways to control various physiological processes taking place in the body.This technique is best used for treatment of fear, tension, restlessness,psychosomatic problems, anxiety, migraines, attention decit disorder, irritablebowel syndrome and more.

CHIROPRACTICChiropractic medicine is dened as a system of diagnosis and treatmentbased upon the concept that the nervous system coordinates all of the bodysfunctions. Therefore, disease results from a lack of normal nerve function. Itemploys manipulation and specic adjustment of body structures such asthe spinal column. Spinal cord displacement causes pressure on the bodysnerves. It is believed that this displacement causes problems not only in theback but can cause pain as far as the leg. Chiropractors therefore work tomanipulate the spine with their hands to realign the vertebrae and relieve thepressure on the nerves. Chiropractic treatment is believed effective for musclespasms of the back and neck, tension headaches, and some leg pain.

LOVING HANDS- BABY MASSAGE WORKSHOPThis workshop is intended for parents and their newborns. Touch is a childsrst language, and it is through our hands that we rst speak and communicateto our child.
