Israel's three other health funds reportedly agree that doctors’ prescribing medical marijuana is “problematic,” but they have not yet made statements about it.
The largest health fund, Clalit Health Services, has instructed its doctors not to prescribe medical cannabis to patients when its use becomes fully regulated and pharmacies will be able to fill their prescriptions. The other three health funds reportedly agree that doctors’ prescribing medical marijuana is “problematic,” but they have not yet made statements about it.
Meretz MK Tamar Zandberg, chairman of the Knesset Anti-Drug Committee, remonstrated with Clalit on Monday, saying that “contrary to assurances we have received in recent weeks from health fund representatives, we learned today that Clalit has set a clear policy against treating patients with medical cannabis. This is not a one-time event but its a serious and unacceptable policy with a very dangerous precedent,” the MK said.
