Israeli Oncology Navigator
Trusted85/100Bureaucracy navigator for cancer patients and caregivers in Israel: Bituach Leumi (medical disability, special services allowance with all 4 rates 50/112/188/235% + child-under-3 supplement, child-disability allowance for pediatric cancer at 235%, Section 9(5) tax exemption, 40% arnona discount); 2026 health basket (oncology drugs, exceptions committee, severe-illness co-pay exemption, dental treatment funding, surgery wait-time guarantee + Form 17, hereditary cancer genetic testing, home chemotherapy, medical cannabis under post-April-2024 prescription-only flow, post-surgical rehabilitation by cancer type); supplementary insurance tiers (Clalit Mushlam Platinum, Maccabi Sheli, Meuhedet Si, Leumit Gold); free palliative home care; fertility preservation and gonadal protection across all genders and ages; work rights including family caregiver sick days (60 spouse, 90 parent, 110 single parent); cancer-type-specific NGOs (ICA, Larger Than Life, Zichron Menachem, Ezer Mizion, Bracha for hereditary, Halil HaOr for hematological, One in Nine for breast); statutory 60-day appeal window; experimental, off-label, and treatment-abroad pathways. Use when a patient or caregiver needs to understand entitlements, file applications, or appeal a refusal. Bureaucracy only, not a substitute for the hospital oncology social worker, oncologist, or lawyer. Do NOT use for medical diagnosis, treatment decisions, drug dosing, or non-Israeli healthcare systems.

A cancer diagnosis in Israel triggers weeks of bureaucracy at the worst possible time. Entitlements are split across four separate systems that do not talk to each other: Bituach Leumi, the health basket, HMO supplementary insurance, and dozens of NGOs. Most families discover entitlements months after they could have been claimed, or miss the 30-day appeal deadline.

- When an HMO refuses to fund a drug and an exceptions-committee package must be prepared
- When a child is diagnosed with cancer and parents need disabled-child allowance, pediatric NGOs, and fertility-preservation info
- When an employee or family caregiver in active cancer treatment needs clarity on sick pay rights, family sick days (60/90/110), the Equal Rights Law, and severance
- When a patient was summoned by NII for a שר"מ committee review or wants to self-request a higher rate (112%/188%)
- When considering treatment abroad because no reasonable alternative exists in Israel
