Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law provides that an insured person diagnosed with a serious mental illness or disorder (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or schizoaffective disorder) will be entitled, from the health fund, to a refund of 80% of the expense for transportation by ambulance or intensive care mobile unit in order to receive service at an emergency medicine department or emergency room (including emergency rooms in psychiatric hospitals), which ended without hospitalization, starting from the second such transport in each calendar year. It is further provided that he is entitled to such a refund for summoning an ambulance that ended with medical treatment at the scene of the event, starting from the second such summons in that same calendar year. The amount of each refund shall not exceed 80% of the amount of the fee at the low tariff set in the Magen David Adom Regulations (Emergency Ambulance Transport Fees), 2006, with respect to transport or summons not funded by the health fund, and the amount of the fee that health funds pay for evacuation or summons under the said conditions shall also be calculated according to this low tariff.
