Ill Abroad

Countries in the EEA (European Economic Area)• If you have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)

(TSE), you can get treatment at reduced cost, or sometimes free, when you're visiting countries in the EEA or Switzerland if you're on, for example, a holiday or a business trip.

• Your EHIC will allow you access to the same state-provided healthcare as a resident of the country you're visiting. However, many countries expect the patient to pay towards their treatment, so even with an EHIC, you will be expected to do the same.
