Social Security presents: Why should one not be more afraid of the medical committee?
A revolutionary move by the National Insurance Institute is designed to make the infamous medical committees welcoming those who face them.
The main innovation: concentrating all the issues related to claims in one place, instead of teasing the plaintiffs between designated committees.
Transparency will also increase and a service approach will be promoted

Standing before a Social Security medical committee, which is supposed to determine whether it will receive payment for a health problem or disability, has been a traumatic event to date.
The citizen in need of help found himself standing in front of a team of serious-minded experts, trying to convince them with signals, masterpieces and a thick pile of documents, that he was entitled to receive money from the state.
At best the encounter ended in an uncomfortable sense of invasion of privacy, and evil - in humiliation and demonstrable opacity.
The process often involved paying a lawyer or a representative who specializes in the field who knows how to speak to the hearts of decision makers, all of which was conducted without documentation and without
close
control
.
A pilot of the new "Expert Center" in Haifa, which will be launched and officially open from the beginning of July, will make the meeting with Social Security experts a much more transparent, welcoming and controlled experience.

Bad news for realtors.
The reform will make it easier for applicants to represent themselves
In an interview with Walla Money, Spiegler says that this is only the first swallow of "expert centers" that will be opened later across the country, "this is something they have dreamed about for many years, but have not been able to put it into practice.
Six years ago it was decided to transfer The Social Security for external public bodies, a move that did not go well. For years we conducted surveys and examined the duration of treatment, satisfaction and efficiency, and found that either the situation remained the same, or it was less good than before, so it was decided to cancel it completely
. Aspects: Visibility and separation.
Visibility - make sure the place is cozy, spacious, beautiful, unlike the HMO or the hospital, a person will get to a place that embraces him.
On the walls there are sayings of the great thinkers, who direct to compassion, to the house of praise and to giving.
The procedure is conducted in full transparency.
What is printed is projected on large screens, the meetings are recorded and documented, which will deter the doctors sitting in the room and the applicant, who will receive the recording to his personal area on the site.
"We will stop the separation between the committees, because those who suffer from several problems at the same time were tormented between a neurological committee, a psychological committee and a cardiology committee, for example, and in all sorts of places in the country.
This union not only benefits the citizens, it will also save manpower and overhead costs for Social Security itself.
"Absolutely. The doctors who were at the center of the appeal will stay here and so will the secretaries of the committees, who will be joined by new dedicated staff, and they will work from morning to night to streamline the processes. "The service will improve."
You talked about the service, but what about the essence of the work of these committees.
There is a feeling that the medical committees are coming to frustrate the applicant, whose starting point is that he wants to deceive the state and get money without justification.
"We do our best in routine and not just in the new center, to show compassion, tolerance, courtesy and Beit Hillel, because it is an integral part of our activities. "We have worked on it quite a bit. This is our soul and we want people to come to us calmly."
Does this mean that applicants to medical committees will not need the services of intermediaries and lawyers to represent them?
"I can not say whether or not to contact a representative, but applicants can go to the medical committees alone without fear, as there is documentation and without paying additional amounts. Our desire is for the service to be optimal for those who receive me. There is no need to be afraid of the medical committees."

Will he be the CEO of the Electric Company?
Spiegler
promises to lower the level of anxiety of those who apply to Social Security committees, but he himself is facing the committee's decision that will determine whether he will be appointed CEO of the Electric Company.
- Avigdor Lieberman's candidate - For the position, a committee has been set up to examine him, and its conclusions will be published soon and will probably pave the way for the position.
Spiegler's entourage expresses dissatisfaction and resentment at Bahrav's conduct, since the procedure for checking his suitability for the position was meticulous and of high quality.
Spiegler himself, unwilling to comment on the rabbi, says, "I believe the competent authorities will complete the orderly and quality process and appoint the appropriate appointment."
