The date of the event determines where to file
According to Maccabi's official information, a new claim may be directed to a different insurer depending on when the insured event occurred. So do not rely only on the company name appearing on an old document.
Verify the date, the period of cover and the current instructions on Maccabi's claims page before sending any material.
The definition of an LTC condition
The definition is set in the policy that applied at the relevant time. Regulatory changes can affect how many daily activities are required, so read the precise clause rather than relying on a summary found online.
The claim and the assessment
Gather records of the medical and functional situation and set out the help or supervision required. If an examination is carried out, the aim is to present the genuine routine rather than a momentary ability on an unusually good day.
