Bureaucracy

Kupat Holim: Getting Through the Maze

Though Israel’s healthcare system is great, sometimes simply learning where to call for what, can be confusing and frustrating, especially for non-Hebrew speakers.

I know what one should or should not expect in terms of the Kupat Holim the patient belongs to. This could mean coverage of physical therapy, a visit from a nurse at home, to name just a few, and I can help by explaining about the necessary paperwork and procedures to get the job done smoothly.

Patient Counseling and Support

In their current state, patients feel anxiety about the present and an uncertain future. Being hospitalized can be a tough experience. All caregivers—partners, close family members, loving relatives or hired personnel, together with the patient themselves—must be well aware of the condition, its treatment, the therapy involved, and why a specific course of action has been recommended. Beyond explaining and clarifying, I provide guidance according to the written and verbal instructions everyone has received. All this new information may be confusing, stressful, and difficult to grasp and accept.

Therefore, my conversations with them are tailored to each person’s prior knowledge and ability to understand.
