Needs, expectations and public knowledge concerning services outside the medical basket: A lesson from Israel

Daniel Sperling

Health Policy, 2014, vol. 117, issue 2, 247-256

Abstract: Quality of and access to medical care are strongly related to the medical basket, the set of services covered under the national health insurance system. Various health systems offer institutional solutions to cover services that are not included in the basket in rare cases. In Israel, patients whose medical needs are not covered under the medical basket may apply to committees for exceptional cases which are run by all health funds.
