Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal adds a section to the National Health Insurance Law requiring a health fund to give a written response to a member whose request for a health service it rejected, with the response giving the reasons for the refusal and stating the member's right to appeal the decision in the ways set under the law. The change allows members to clearly understand the reasons for rejecting the request, to cooperate with the treating medical provider in seeking alternative solutions, and to use internal and external appeal procedures more effectively.
