Persons whose eligibility for health care services in Israel is effective only after a waiting period (especially if it is long) - and who have been recognized as Israeli residents can redeem the waiting period with a special payment determined by law: NIS 9,990 (as of 01.01.2012) – in one payment or several (up to 6) consecutive and equal payments. After the NII receives of the payment or payments, these persons are immediately eligible for health care services in Israel.
You can pay by means of bank check or credit card, on the form of "special payment for redeeming the waiting period" on the payments site.
The special payment can be paid while you are still abroad, so that you will be entitled to medical services upon your arrival in Israel, on condition that you have proven that the center of your life is in Israel and are recognized as an Israeli resident.
The special payment will not be reimbursed to an insured who did not return to Israel.
In the framework of a campaign of the Ministry of Absorption, a returning resident who has paid the special payment to redeem the waiting period may be eligible for a refund from the Ministry – details on the Ministry of Absorptio site.
