A consultation with a contracted consultant requires a copayment, paid directly to the physician.
In surgical specialties (for example, ENT and ophthalmology), contracted consultants also serve as contracted surgeons with Leumit. If surgery is required, these physicians are authorized to perform surgery under the supplementary insurance.
If a specific surgery is known to be required in advance, it is recommended to check in the system whether the contracted consultant performs the required procedure before scheduling the consultation.
The consultation takes place at the physician’s private clinic.
The copayment listed applies only when the consultation is provided within Sharap clinics.
If a contracted consultant within Sharap chooses to provide the consultation privately in their own clinic rather than within Sharap clinics, payment will be made privately by the insured, and no reimbursement will be provided by Leumit.
You may consult specialist physicians recognized by Leumit whose names appear on the approved list, for consultation purposes only. No reimbursement will be provided for consultations at outpatient clinics in public hospitals. These physicians are not contracted surgeons under Leumit’s supplementary insurance. No reimbursement will be provided for surgery performed by a surgeon who is not under agreement with Leumit.
A consultation is a visit to a specialist physician to discuss the member’s medical condition.
Please note: the following are not considered consultations:
Under Search for Doctors, enter the medical specialty for which consultation is required or the physician’s name. You will receive a list of Leumit physicians and consultant physicians who work with Leumit’s supplementary insurance. Next to each physician’s name, you will see whether they are a contracted consultant or a non-contracted consultant recognized for reimbursement.
