PassportCard hands you a loaded payment card, so hospital and pharmacy bills abroad are paid on the spot — no deductible, and no fronting thousands while you wait for a refund.
Worth knowing: premiums climb with age, and a condition that shows up later may not be covered. The best time to lock in cover is before you fly — not after.
Top-ranked in the Capital Markets Authority's service rating.
The card pays at the point of care — no deductible on the card.
A help centre you can reach any hour, in English.
Long-stay policies available for extended trips abroad.
With every other Israeli insurer, getting sick abroad means the same routine — you pay the hospital, keep the receipts, and chase a refund for weeks. PassportCard flips it: you're issued a loaded card at the point of care, and it settles the bill directly at the clinic, the hospital or the pharmacy.
On a long trip or for an older traveller — where a single bill can run into the tens of thousands — not having to front that money is the whole reason people choose it.
A two-week holiday is forgiving. A six-month stay, a relocation, or a trip when you're past 65 is not — that's exactly where an uncovered bill turns into a five- or six-figure problem. PassportCard's card model removes the worst part of getting sick abroad: you don't pay first. Here's where it earns its keep.
Gap year, working holiday, a sabbatical, or moving abroad after the army. Standard policies are built for short trips; a long stay needs cover that runs the full length of your time away — and PassportCard can extend cover well beyond a normal trip.
American medical costs are the highest on earth. One ER visit can run $10,000–$50,000, and a few days in hospital can pass $100,000. For a long stay there, the card paying directly — instead of you wiring a deposit — is the whole point.
Age changes both the price and the rules. Each insurer has different cut-off ages and conditions, and getting the paperwork wrong can void a claim when you need it most. A representative makes sure the policy actually fits your age — before you fly, not after.
Diabetes, a heart condition, controlled blood pressure — these are never covered automatically. They need a declared rider. Done right, you're covered up to substantial limits; skipped, a related hospital bill is on you. This is worth a real conversation.

The headline coverage is generous, but the card mechanism is what people remember when something goes wrong far from home.
A loaded card settles the hospital, clinic or pharmacy directly. No fronting cash, no chasing a reimbursement for weeks afterwards.
Emergency treatment and hospitalisation abroad up to very high limits — the situations that genuinely bankrupt people without insurance.
If your condition needs it, arranged transport and a medically-equipped flight back to Israel for continued treatment.
A declared chronic condition can be covered to substantial limits with the right rider — exactly what older travellers should lock in.
Optional cover for lost or delayed luggage, plus the insurer's luggage-tracing service to help find a bag that goes missing.
A 24/7 support centre in English. When you're nine time zones away at 3am, that line matters more than any brochure.
Name, phone, where you're going and for how long. A minute, no obligation.

"Flying to the US with my parents, who are in their 70s. The pre-existing condition side was confusing until I called — sorted in ten minutes."

"Went with PassportCard for the direct-pay on a long trip and never looked back. Not having to front the money was worth it."
