Birthright Israel requires all travelers to be covered by their OWN medical insurance that is valid in Israel. This insurance should include coverage for pre-existing medical conditions and medical emergencies while in Israel. On top of that, it's a good idea to make sure you're also covered for those travel headaches that you think could never happen to you! We're talking about things like lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and delayed or canceled domestic flights. Don't let it ruin your trip! Birthright Israel requires that any traveler flying domestically purchase a travel insurance add-on like the CTAS plan.

Maybe. That can vary from one plan to another. Many plans do not include coverage outside the USA. Even if your provider tells you that you'll be covered in Israel, be very careful...many plans are extremely limited in terms of the international coverage they provide. Additionally, using your home policy will likely mean paying out-of-pocket for medical costs in Israel and enduring the hassle of a reimbursement claim when you return home. With CTAS, you'd be covered like an Israeli with no copays or deductibles. Additionally, Birthright Israel highly recommends purchasing travel insurance, like CTAS, for all of the other travel insurance benefits.

CTAS insurance is only $50 USD for the entire Birthright Israel trip. That includes both medical and travel insurance. If you're extending your trip in Israel, you can extend the insurance, for only $4.50 USD per day.

Absolutely! When you fill out the CTAS form, you can indicate your return date from Israel. An extra $4.50 per day fee applies, and the policy is only valid in Israel.
