Israel Insurance for USA
« on: August 01, 2016, 05:50:56 PM »
Have used Epstein Insurance Agent(s) for providing intl health insurancequite a few times in the past, was very happy with them.  (Never needed it, but they were super helpful).  About to fly again.  Price difference is significant though .  Anyone know more about it then me?  They're offering Harel insurance.  Meuchedet offers: https://www.meuhedet.co.il/meuhedet/views/abroadInsurance/insurance-documents/summary_silver.pdf  (detailed -- https://www.meuhedet.co.il/meuhedet/views/abroadInsurance/insurance-documents/silver_insurance.pdf )

EDIT:
Found better links:
Agent - https://www.harel-group.co.il/insurance/travel/policies/pages/first-class.aspx
Meuchedet - https://www.harel-group.co.il/insurance/travel/policies/pages/special/silver-meuhedet.aspx

Anyone have anything to offer regarding which one to choose?

Go with epstien . Very easy to deal with . My most recent experience was that we forgot to claim a few hundred dollars and he contacted us on his own . Sent in documents and everything is getting covered.

Just FYI- there is something called a "passport card" I think, I don't know much details as I've never used it- but I heard it's a little more money than meuchedet, but way worth it for kids...
You get a cc as you leave Israel, and if you ever need anything in us they preload it with some money to cover dr and medicine (and can take advantage of that - they give much more than needed, but ask ylor what you allowed to get), so no needi to be busy with making claims after...
Maybe someone here has more info on this...

Seminary usually provides an overpriced provider with a ridiculous plan to use.  Just sign up with Mehuchedet.

The AIM Gold is $599, and the premium meuchedet is $40 a month. I don't know if that's a ridiculous ripoff.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I have no idea about AIM Gold but there's no need for anything above reg Meuchedet.

If its 40 dollars a month thats 400 for 10 months. AIM sounds like its 50% more. How come?

Is this the site for signing up?

http://lang.meuhedet.co.il/en/insurance-programs/meuhedet-adif-rates-and-terms.aspx#

The rate sheet indicates the monthly amount for a "single" is 43.50 but I don't know if that's shekels or USD.

I didnt see it but likely USD. You dont need "Adif". Reg is fine.

Very confusing as there is a foreign members plan on this page that has much higher membership fees, unless its an annual number.

That number includes 4 months. After that its month by month.
