New Service at Ben Gurion Airport
Registration for a Health Fund
To ease your first steps in Israel, and in order to improve absorption services, it is possible to register for the health fund of your choice upon arrival at Ben Gurion airport.
This new service is in addition to the existing option of registering at a postal bank.
New immigrants are eligible for health insurance from the date of receipt of new immigrant status. As of the 7th of December, 2010, upon arrival at the airport with new immigrant status, and receipt of documentation from an absorption counselor, you can then register at the health fund of your choosing. When registering you must inform the absorption counselor of your choice of health fund (it is recommended to check the services provided by each fund in advance of your aliyah). You can contact friends or relatives in order to consult with them before deciding on a health fund.
Note that when registering for a health fund at the airport, you will not have to pay a registration fee.
