Parents of Gap Year Students in Israel:
Did you know that most Gap Year Programs have no medical personnel? Health Care for Israel Gap Year students is complicated. Nearly every program requires that students have health insurance, but this coverage leaves parents and Gap Year Programs wanting.
- Health Insurance does not cover pre-existing conditions
- For pre-existing conditions, parents and students must fend for themselves and find providers and solutions to the student’s needs
- Health Insurance pays for health coverage, but no one monitors the quality of service provided.
- If your child gets sick or suffers an acute injury (like a sprained ankle), he or she may end up at the emergency room or doctor’s office alone, with a friend, or perhaps with a counselor – none of whom are qualified to advocate for optimal care for your child.
- The Israeli health culture is vastly different than yours, and this may affect the medical care your child receives.
- As parents, your point of contact when your child is unwell is the school administrator, who does not have the medical background to assure that your child is getting the best care
- Food allergy sufferers may find that Israel is culturally not an easy place to live with certain food allergies and there is no service to assist students with accommodations.
