Meuhedet provides coverage and service to more than 1.2 million members in 2020.

The organization was founded in 1974 as the result of a merger (hence the "Union" in its name) of two Kupot Holim: The Common Health Fund (קופת חולים עממית) established in 1931 by Hadassah, and the General Zionists' Health Fund (קופת חולים של הציונים הכלליים) established in 1936.[2] These two predecessor organizations were formed during the prestatal Yishuv period and, like the other health funds in Israel, were modeled after the German medical mutual-aid societies (Krankenkasse) of the late 19th and early 20th century.

In 2005, Meuhedet took over Misgav Ladach hospital in Jerusalem, turning it into a diagnostic center and in 2019 purchased Nara medical which operates several private surgical facilities across Israel.[3][4]

Meuhedet is headed by Mr. Uzi Bitan[5]which serves as CEO since Dec' 2022
