House Calls
In collaboration with "Bikur-Rofeh," physicians make house calls to Maccabi Healthcare Services members after clinic and branch business hours - at night, on weekends and holidays. Physicians provide preliminary medical treatment at members' homes, including examinations and the dispensing of medications as necessary. The physician will also handle a transfer to a hospital facility, if required.
Second Opinion by Massachusetts General Hospital Specialists
A joint collaboration agreement with the Massachusetts General hospital in Boston, USA, allows Maccabi members to obtain second opinions, at minimal cost and rapid response time, from hospital chiefs of services and senior physicians at the Boston Medical Center who are members of the faculty of Harvard's School of Medicine. A special Maccabi team guides members and their physicians through all stages of the consultation. Maccabi members may also obtain second opinions from other medical centers worldwide.
Broad Range of Services for Maccabi Members
In response to members' needs, Maccabi Healthcare Services has established comprehensive service centers in several fields, where excellent professionals and specialists are at the disposal of our members. The skills and reliable service our staff provides, reinforces our members' trust in Maccabi.
Consulting and Assistance to Members in Obtaining Income Tax Exemptions
Under certain conditions, the Income Tax authorities provide an income tax exemption to individuals who have become disabled temporarily due to illness, hospitalization or surgery, or who suffer from a permanent disability.
The procedure is not a simple one - members are required to be familiar with the details, obtain the required authorizations, file applications with the relevant committees and complete additional steps. We have found that the very patients who are most in need of the exemption are both mentally and physically unable to deal with the rigors of the procedure.
The Tax Benefits Services, part of Maccabi Healthcare Services, was established to assist members in exercising their rights. A skilled team of medical specialists and tax experts, with extensive knowledge of the procedures, assists Maccabi members to exercise their full legal rights and receive all the benefits to which they are entitled by law.
The Tax Benefits Services staff are experienced in examining the merits of each individual case, and assist members or their families in understanding the laws preparing for medical review committees and exercising their full rights.
