National Health Law (Amendment – Transfer of Full Information When Switching between Health Funds) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק בריאות ממלכתי (תיקון - העברת מידע מלא בעת מעבר בין קופות החולים)

TL;DRA proposal to require health maintenance organizations to transfer all the medical information of a resident who moves to another HMO within seven days.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the National Health Insurance Law and sets that the previous HMO will transfer to the new HMO (or directly to the resident if they requested it) all the medical information it holds about the resident, and not only a brief medical summary. The transfer will be made within seven days of the notice of termination of membership. The purpose is to prevent harm to medical follow-up and to ensure a uniform supply of information between the HMOs.
