Structure of the Health Care
System
National Health Insurance Law 1995
Universal, compulsory, health insurance Financed by earmarked and general
taxation Citizens pay a healthcare tax – 4.8% of
income “Cost of the Basket of Services” :
Based on previous expenditures of the health funds
Updated yearly based on a health index
If the taxes not sufficient, the government must add to guarantee the basket of services
Special Fund for New Technologies
Special allocation of funds each year for new technologies
Recommended by national professional councils and the drug industry
Evaluated by an MOH committee headed by a senior medical professional with representatives from the public
Providers of Health Care
MOH Mother and Child Clinics (Tipot Halav)
Initiated in 1912 and run by MOH Immunization, growth and
development Vits A, D, routine iron supplements Pregnancy care Parallel to clinics of Sick Funds Some subcontracted to health funds Located in every neighborhood Nursing staff and visiting MDs
Every citizen is a member of an HMO (Health Fund)
Health funds provide a uniform, legally defined basket of services for every citizen
Citizens are free to choose and move There are public and private
providers of services
The Health Funds (HMOs)
Supplies services - own facilities and outside providers
Selectively contracts with providersFree patient choice of physician Methods of payment to providers:
Physicians: Quarterly visits within global budgetHospitals: Negotiated Caps Other providers: Fee-for-service
Functions of the HMO
Co-payments for medications, visits to physicians and specialist clinics
Services not currently covered by the health funds include much of mental health, long term nursing care, and dental care for adults
Health funds offer supplementary health insurance for additional services
Extra Charges to Patients
Acute Care Hospital System
11 Ministry of Health Hospitals 46.5% of beds 8 Klallit Health Fund Hospitals 30.4% of beds 7 Non-profit Hospitals 10% of beds 2 Hadassah Hospitals 6.0% of beds 6 Mission Hospitals 3.6% of beds 11 Private for-profit Hospitals 3.4% of beds 1 Meuhedet Hospital 0.1% of beds
Number of Beds = 14, 582 – 2.05 beds/1000
Characteristics of the Acute Care Hospital System
All hospitals have outpatient ambulatory services
All public hospitals have Emergency Rooms Staffing linked to the number of beds in
each department Physicians are salaried employees of the
hospital Hospital physicians may have private
practices and may contract with health funds as independent doctors
Funding the Israeli Health Care System
● Public and Private Financing
● Public and Private Healthcare Services
Budgeted by the state through a “Capitation Mechanism” - Prospective budget = # of enrolled capita weighted by age and residence location.
Supply of healthcare services Primary care – supplied by the health funds’
personnel Secondary (Specialists’) care – supplied by
health funds’ personnel or purchased Tertiary (hospital) care – Owned or purchased
Budget and Function of the HMO’s (“Health Funds”)
1st level – Public + copayments
2nd level – Semi private 3rd level - Private
Financing Health Care
Paid through taxation – about 5% of salary Discount to low income families. Minimum payment for unemployed
Free Basic Package of services Defined by law and updated annually Co-payment for drugs ($4) and ambulatory
services (~$6). No co-payment for hospitals. Very wide coverage (incl. fertility, cancer,
transplantation etc.) Limited choice of suppliers
The 1ST level
Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Dentistry for adults Non-conventional medicine
Services Not Supplied
Semi-Private insurance Low cost, Based on age only (~20$ per month)
No denial for any reason (by law) Managed by the health funds but
financially separated from basic insurance Coverage – 80% of the population
The 2nd level
Private insurance Administered by private insurers Expensive ($100+/month) premium Very limited addition of services as compared to 1st
and 2nd levels Underwriting (Cost of premium related to the
insured health status) Owned by 42% of the population
The 3rd level
I pay 10%-48% income tax (14%) per month.
In addition I pay 5%-15% of my salary for social security and the health tax
I pay for supplementary insurance to the health fund - ~20$ per month
I can also add a private insurance or to get it from my work place
Let’s try to summarize how it works

Computerization of the Healthcare System

prescriptions and consultations Telemedicine Alerts and Reminders Patient Website
Israel’s Health Achievements
Universal health coverage and access to care Strong MOH control over hospital sector Strong traditions of public health Control of infectious diseases Control of non infectious disease e.g. CHD, stroke Strong medical-pharmaceutical industry Strong basic and clinical sciences Strong epidemiology training and research
1. Eliminate ineffective and inappropriate services2. Improve rational use of medicines
3. Allocate more to public health, primary and outpatient specialist care at the expense of hospital care
4. Invest in infrastructure that is less costly to run – “invest to save”5. Cut the volume of least cost-effective services
Focus on Health Systems’ Performance -
