Important to know

Tachles Israel is an independent information service, not a government authority. Check binding conditions, eligibility and deadlines with the official source.

Before you start

Identify your health fund and the service needed. Its website can help find doctors and clinics by specialty and locality and explain booking. This guide has no live doctor directory or appointment availability. For urgent medical needs, seek appropriate help rather than waiting for a routine appointment.

Who is this guide for?

Clalit, Maccabi, Meuhedet or Leumit members looking for care through their health fund.

Conditions and exceptions

Referrals, payment authorisations and treatment arrangements differ by health fund and service. Check directly with your fund. This website does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or guaranteed availability.

01

Choose the service you need

Decide whether you need a family doctor, a paediatrician or a specialist in a field already recommended to you. If unsure, ask your health fund or family doctor.
What should you prepare?

Health fund name, convenient locality and general questions for your own notes.

Please note

This is not a tool for selecting a doctor by symptoms. Do not wait for an appointment in an emergency.

02

Open your health fund's official website

Official links to Clalit, Maccabi, Meuhedet and Leumit appear below. Open the fund where you are insured and find its doctor or clinic search.
What should you prepare?

Health fund name and required service.

Please note

Do not enter identification details, passwords or medical information on Tachles Israel.

03

Filter results and check conditions

Filter by locality, treatment type or doctor name where supported. Ask the fund directly whether your coverage includes the service and whether you need a referral or payment authorisation.
What should you prepare?

Preferred location; referral details only inside the fund's secure service if required.

Please note

This guide does not show appointment availability, doctor ratings or personal eligibility.

04

Book officially and keep confirmation

Use the fund's appointment system or contact the clinic as instructed on its official website. Check the time, location, required documents and cancellation or change process.
What should you prepare?

Appointment confirmation stored securely.

Please note

Hours and appointments change; do not rely on a date or time quoted in a general guide.

05

If you cannot find a suitable doctor or appointment

Try another area or filter, or ask the fund's official service centre for help finding an alternative. For worsening symptoms or an urgent medical need, contact its medical service or appropriate emergency services rather than waiting.

Enquiry details and reference number if provided.

Please note

Do not share personal health information through the Tachles Israel contact form.
