Medical Rights

When families endure challenges, illness or disability, inevitably their finances are impacted. Whether a working parent suddenly falls ill and is unable to continue working, a working parent is compelled to reduce his or her working hours in order to accompany a spouse or child to medical treatments, or a family is suddenly encumbered with the hefty costs of transportation to the hospital and extra household help, having a sick or disabled family member is always financially debilitating. Many are unaware of it, but families with a parent or child suffering disability or illness are often eligible to exercise their medical rights and obtain government grants from the National Insurance Institute.
Bureaucratic red tape and the runaround from one government office to the next can make exercising rights complicated and wearying, leading many to despair along the way before they exploit their full rights and receive the help they need and deserve. Frequent amendments to the law and list of those eligible for government grants can further confuse patients and their families and transform the attempt to exercise one’s rights into a nightmare.
The Information Hotline for National Insurance Rights is a pioneering project of Refua Vesimcha. Rabbi Meir Quinn identified the utter lack of awareness in the general public regarding rights availed to families with an ill or disabled parent or child and the challenges that many encounter while navigating the system to exploiting their medical rights, which was often compounded by the lack of time available to families with a sick or disabled member, as well as the fear of exposure of confidential medical information. Determined to enable families to receive the funding that they deserve and exercise their maximal rights swiftly and efficiently, while sparing them unnecessary hassle and headache, Rabbi Quinn set about collecting and sorting through reams of National Insurance data, and presenting the information and options that he collected to the public simply and clearly on Refua Vesimcha’s Information Hotline. The Hotline is manned by professionals who work discreetly with families, helping them exploit their full rights via National Insurance. Callers are not required to identify themselves.
