Health Insurance & Healthcare Services

If you are an international researcher or student who is visiting, studying, or working at Tel Aviv University (TAU), you are required to have health insurance during the entire duration of your stay.

While some of Lowy International School’s programs include health insurance within the program tuition fees, this is not the case for all programs. Please find your relevant type of program to see the insurance information most accurate for you.

Those of you who are not provided health insurance by Lowy International are required to purchase health insurance independently. The recommendation is to obtain insurance from a local insurance company which is accustomed to working with local healthcare providers.

The Benefits of Health Insurance

Having health insurance allows you to access medical care during your time with us, including if there is ever an emergency. Learn more about health insurance in Israel, and/or visit our emergency care instructions webpage for steps to take if you are facing an emergency health situation.

For those with independent health insurance coverage, please visit your insurer’s webpage for more information on your plan.

For those of you whose tuition includes health insurance—kindly note that as of May 1, 2025, the insurance coverage will be with the insurance company PassportCard and healthcare provider Clalit. Please see this user guide for more information on how to use it.
