National Health Insurance Law (Amendment – Payment for a Prescription Drug at a Pharmacy without an Arrangement with a Health Fund) Bill
Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק ביטוח בריאות ממלכתי (תיקון - תשלום בעד תכשיר מרשם בבית מרקחת שאין לו הסדר עם קופת חולים)
TL;DRA proposal to require health maintenance organizations to give their members payment benefits also at private pharmacies with which they have no arrangement.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the National Health Insurance Law with a provision that a health maintenance organization will also provide services through pharmacies with which it has no arrangement. Members of the HMO who buy a preparation at a private pharmacy will be entitled to the same benefits (a discount or exemption from payment) they would have received at a pharmacy with which the HMO has an arrangement. The amendment serves to enable competition in the pharmacy market and to improve access to health benefits for weak population groups.
