[QUOTE="Vikingepigen, post: 106238, member: 18320"] Dennis, treatment for accident and/or illness is covered by the "European Health Insurance Card" , hence it is vital to have it with you. It is like a EU National Insurance card, if you like. However, travel insurance to cover more extensive/specialist/dental treatment and especially home transport is ESSENTIAL, even from a EU country - this cost is NOT covered by the "European Health Insurance Card" as many seem to think it does. Also make sure your travel insurance cover EMERGENCY MEDICINE SUPPLIES, should your own supplies be destroyed or stolen. At least you know you have immediate access to new supplies from local pharmacies. A separate list and/or a letter from you GP listing your medicines is a huge help and peace of mind. Just suggestions to make your life easier for your first trip abroad and for you to have peace of mind in "worst case" - may it never happen!! Best Alice [/QUOTE]
