Released prisoners resume their membership in the HMO to which they belonged before their incarceration. The Israel Prison Service automatically transfers information on the prisoner's release to the NII.

  • If a released prisoner's former HMO has not received information on his/her release, he/she must fax a copy of the certificate of release to the NII's Registration Department (fax number 02-646-2029). The NII will forward the information to the HMO and within 24 hours membership will be renewed.
  • Released prisoners who were not members of an HMO must register with the HMO of their choice and they will immediately be entitled to health services.
  • Released prisoners who wish to switch to a different HMO (the transfer can be made while the prisoner is still in prison) must act in accordance with the regulations for switching.
  • Released prisoners who do not know to which HMO they belong can call the Heath Department call center on *6050, Sunday to Thursday between the hours of 9:00-17:00.
