FAQ

Medical documents

A sick note without a stamp — suspicious?

No. Most Israeli sick notes are issued digitally with only the doctor’s name and licence number. We never flag that as forgery.

What about medical privacy?

Documents are encrypted, visible only to you and deleted automatically. Medical documents are especially sensitive and handled accordingly.

Do you verify with the HMO?

No. We check the document itself; confirming with the issuer remains in your hands.
