Prices at Rambam Hospital are set on the basis of the Ministry of Health of Israel pricing. Rambam Hospital employs a full-transparency financial approach; a detailed invoice is provided to all patients, and payment is made directly to the hospital cashier.
It is worth noting that the initial price offer a patient receives from the hospital before his or her arrival will determine a set diagnostics fee, but only an estimated treatment fee. This is due to the fact that, at this point, the definite condition of the patient is still unclear. Until a full diagnostic is performed, it would be unprofessional to issue a price quote for the entire treatment, as the price of similar types of treatment can vary between patients. For example, chemotherapy prices vary significantly according to drugs used and doses prescribed.
