Independently Purchasing Health Insurance

While some TAU International programs have health insurance included in the tuition payment, please note that this is not the case for all programs.

Those of you who are not provided health insurance by Lowy International, are required to purchase health insurance independently.

Please also note that a valid medical insurance policy is mandatory for receiving a student visa.

While there are many health insurance providers in Israel, and we encourage you to do your own market research, we can suggest a few companies that we know to provide services in English:
