Tips and tricks to save time at the pharmacy in Israel

Image
These two tricks have saved me lots of time at the pharmacy waiting for prescriptions to be fulfilled and be serviced. In this tutorial, I will be using מאוחדת, which is one of the major health care providers in Israel.  Most of the information will be similar for other health care providers (קופות חולים), with some slight variations.  2 Tips for those with Meuchedet:  1. You can book an appointment for the pharmacy... show up and swipe your card to skip the line 2. You can check via the app for which medications are in stock at which pharmacy... this helps a lot for when they have shortages of adhd meds Watch our video to figure out how!  If you use the pharmacy of your healthcare provider, many medications will be provided with a discount once you swipe your membership cards! For other healthcare providers:  Superpharm has their own booking site:  https://altor.super-pharm.co.il/branch Clalit:  https://e-services.clalit.co.il/onlinewebquick/nvgq/tamuz/he-il Maccabi:  maccabi4u.co.i

Blood donations in Israel - How the blood insurance system works

Image
  This could help you save some money too, in addition to doing a huge deed. If you donate blood via מגן דויד אדום,   (Magen David Adom – similar to American red cross in the US), you are eligible to receive ביטוח דם (Blood Insurance) for a year from when the date that insurance starts (usually 2 months after donating). -           This also applies to you and your partner, your children (up to age 18), siblings -             if the donor is single, the insurance goes to that individual’s parents In the case of an emergency, and you or a family member needs a blood transfusion or some operation at any hospital in Israel it will allow reception of any amount of blood without having to find your own donor (from their website) You need to give your donor card, ID card and info on the family member that needs blood and a confirmation from the hospital saying that the patient needs a blood “donation”/transfusion.
