Maccabi Healthcare Services
Israel's second-largest sick fund, ~2.5 million members. Known for strong digital infrastructure (Maccabi Online app) and short wait times for specialist appointments.
Overview
Maccabi Healthcare Services (Maccabi Sherutei Bri'ut) covers roughly 2.5 million Israelis. Maccabi does not operate hospitals; it contracts with public and private hospitals nationwide. The cultural reputation is for efficient digital service: the Maccabi Online app and Maccabi4U portal are widely considered the strongest digital experience among the four funds. Specialist appointment availability is typically the shortest, partly because the contracted-provider model bypasses the bottlenecks of an integrated network.
How to order blood tests
Blood tests are ordered by your Maccabi family physician at a clinic visit or through the Maccabi Online (Maccabi4U) app. Walk into any Maccabi blood-draw station during posted hours with your teudat zehut; orders sync automatically from the family physician's system. Many stations are located inside Maccabi pharmacies or shared service hubs. Fasting requirements show up in your app when relevant.
How to retrieve results
Results post to the Maccabi Online app and the maccabi4u.co.il website typically within 24–72 hours. Critical values are flagged with a red icon in the app. PDF download is available; that is the file Mediora.AI is built to read.
Coverage notes
Basic blood-test panels are covered under the basic basket (sal habri'ut) with no copay. Specialised tests require either a specialist referral or coverage under Maccabi Magen Zahav / Maccabi Sheli supplementary insurance.
Using Mediora.AI with Maccabi Healthcare Services
Once results arrive in Maccabi Online, download the PDF and upload to Mediora.AI for a plain-language explanation of every marker. Mediora.AI is independent of Maccabi; it complements your family doctor's reading, not replaces it.
