[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 1011458, member: 12578"] Just to point out that you only get back what locals would get back and that can in some EU countries mean a large bill unaccounted for. This is the case in France where you may have to pay 20- 30% of your expenses plus the costs for board and lodging in hospital. Other EU countries may also charge. Since 2014 you can no -longer claim this 'co pay' back on return to the UK. [URL]http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/Healthcareabroad/EHIC/Pages/EHICchanges.aspx[/URL] It's also worth knowing that there are specific to France additional to EHIC insurance policies that can be bought with no age limits and no medical screening and no need to declare pre-existing conditions. (it is just specific French policies because it is illegal to ask these questions for 'top up insurance' .It does not necessarily apply to the general EHIC plus policies that are also available) It's very fortunate for us because insurance for my father to travel anywhere else in the world is far too expensive to be tenable .
