Israel leads the world in IVF treatments per capita, with over 50,000 IVF cycles performed annually, yet many Israelis are unaware of their full entitlements under the National Health Insurance Law. The health basket (Sal Briut) covers unlimited IVF cycles for up to two live children for women up to age 45 (or 54 with egg donation), making Israel's fertility coverage among the most generous globally. However, navigating the system requires understanding kupat cholim approval processes, referral chains between gynecologists and fertility specialists, the 2022 surrogacy law amendments that expanded eligibility, and complex bureaucratic procedures that differ between Clalit, Maccabi, Meuhedet, and Leumit.
