Treatment at CTCI is personalized for each individual, illness, and disease stage. Therefore, each treatment plan is different. Feel free to discuss the details of your treatment with your clinician.

CTCI fees for medical treatment of a patient’s specific disease are typically all-inclusive. Once a fee is quoted all medical expenses related to the treatment proposed will be covered, including the doctor’s fee, medications, blood tests, etc. Patients are responsible for expenses not related to their disease, such as dental work, treatment of unrelated conditions, travel, and accommodations. Please discuss what your fees cover with your CTCI representative.

While in Israel, many patients choose to take day trips in the Tel Aviv vicinity or overnight stays throughout the country. Visiting Jerusalem, preferably with a guide, is certainly worth considering.

Tel Aviv is the heart of multicultural activity, including performing arts, museums, beaches, fine dining, and other destinations. Israel is known for both fascinating historic sites and modern attractions.

The extent of travel depends entirely on the type, intensity, frequency, and duration of treatment. Please discuss travel considerations with your caregiver.

The CTCI team will be glad to help you contact tour guides or tour offices and provide recommendations of interesting places to visit, starting with Jerusalem.

Tourists find Israel to be very safe and native Israeli hosts to be very welcoming. In Israel, visitors can always find people who speak their language. As with most other countries, it is important to be aware of areas that tourists should avoid. For travel advice, please consult with your travel professional.

Israel has visa agreements with about 65 countries, which enable citizens of these countries to automatically receive tourist visas. Please consult your local Israeli consulate to determine visa requirements before making travel arrangements. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs website may help direct you.
