EHIC


An EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) is a European healthcare card. You will need it if you need care during your holiday or stay in another European country.

Who is it for?

The EHIC from the CAK is for people who are insured through the CAK and live in the EU/EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland.
