[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 106282, member: 12578"] Health care in Austria using EHIC [url=http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/healthcareaustria/Pages/healthcareaustria.aspx]http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/healthcare ... stria.aspx[/url] But some diabetes medicines cost a whole lot more eg: costs in France, 5 levimir pens, 67€, 5 lantus €47, 3 months supply simvastatin 61€ All countries differ in the way they cover costs but in France you should apply for a partial refund of of up front costs whilst in the country (ie 70% in France for most prescrition medicines). You should be given a 'feuille de soins' which you take to the CPAM and fill in lots of forms and bank details. If you use an EHIC as an in patient, the medical bill but not the board and lodging charges will be paid for direct. Howevever, if you aren't able to do apply in France, (ie weekends, bank holidays, inability to communicate with the local health care authorities etc) you can use the form to claim in the UK, you [u]may[/u] also be able to get the rest of your contribution back. They use the word [u]may [/u]and I've never found the rules for that specified. As to insurance there are some quite reasonably priced policies which take into account that you have a EHIC and covers things like baggage losses, the contributions not paid for by the EHIC and repatriation.
