Rehabilitation Program
- A rehabilitation program is comprised of three stages. The first two stages are included in the healthcare basket and are provided free of charge (to those who are eligible). The third stage is not included in the healthcare basket, but the Ministry of Health recommends that patients contact facilities where it is provided.
First Stage of Rehabilitation
- This stage is offered in hospitals or convalescent homes and lasts for seven days from the hospital release date.
Second Stage of Rehabilitation
- This stage takes place after release from the hospital or convalescent facility and it lasts approximately 9 months.
- Heart patients who are referred to a heart rehabilitation facility within the first year after a cardiac event or relevant diagnosis must start a program in the second stage of rehabilitation.
- Completion of the rehabilitation program is in accordance with the patient’s medical condition, as determined by the program’s medical director.
- For high-risk patients, the second stage of rehabilitation is of unlimited duration.
- This stage is aimed at improving risk factors and the patient’s functioning capacity and physical and mental state to the greatest extent possible, and it includes physical training in addition to advising and behavioral and pharmaceutical intervention.
- The rehabilitation services that are part of this stage are provided at heart rehabilitation facilities. The treatment staff includes a cardiologist, registered nurse and specialist in rehabilitative physical training.
Third Stage of Rehabilitation

- The stage begins after achieving the previous stage’s (stage two) objectives, and it includes continuation of physical activity, as well as maintaining proper nutrition as part of a specialized program.
- Every physician treating a patient requiring heart rehabilitation must recommend these medical services.

Heart Rate Monitoring and Follow-Up

Rehabilitative Exercise
- Health insurance policyholders are entitled to rehabilitative exercise, which is limited physical activity under the close supervision of a cardiologist; it is provided as part of the second stage of rehabilitation detailed above.
How to Claim It?

- If a patient is referred by a hospital's cardiology, internal medicine or cardiac surgery unit, it is recommended that the referral be written in the form of a detailed recommendation as part of the hospital release paperwork.
- Rehabilitation is provided by the patient’s health plan through a heart rehabilitation facility or another rehabilitation program. Convalescence services are provided in a convalescent home that has an arrangement with the patient’s health plan.
