Leumit Silver and Gold

Leumit's supplementary health insurance program

According to the National Health Insurance Act, Israeli healthcare funds are required to supply certain medical services defined in the basic health insurance plan.
We, at Leumit Health Services, believe that you deserve more. We understand that the basic health insurance plan, comprehensive as it is, cannot answer all the medical needs you and your family have. That is why we offer supplemental insurance plans (“Shaban”) which give you accessibility to additional medical services beyond the coverage of the basic health insurance plan

Leumit Health Services offers two levels of supplemental insurance plans:


Leumit Silver – A basic supplemental health insurance plan that provides a range of medical services beyond those defined in the general basic health insurance plan.

Leumit Gold–The most advanced and comprehensive supplemental insurance plan offered in Israel, providing complete coverage for advanced private medical care.
