National Insurance Law (Amendment No. 268) (Transporting a Woman in Childbirth by Ambulance) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הביטוח הלאומי (תיקון מס' 268) (הסעת יולדת באמבולנס)

TL;DRA proposal to expand the ability to contract with additional bodies (ambulance license holders) to transport women in labor who are eligible for a birth grant.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill changes the National Insurance Law to allow the National Insurance Institute to enter into agreements with bodies holding an ambulance vehicle license from the Licensing Authority, and not only with Magen David Adom. The change is intended to allow the Institute to contract with additional parties that provide medical evacuation services for women in labor. The law will take effect one year after its publication, to give the Institute time to prepare.
