General information

The card is not an alternative to travel insurance. The EHIC does not cover private healthcare or costs such as repatriation (the journey back home) or lost/stolen property. Furthermore, you cannot use the EHIC if you are travelling to another country for medical treatment. To do so, you must always ask permission from your own health insurance fund first.

​On the European Commission website you can search by country where you can use your EHIC. You'll also see what kind of healthcare will be refunded.

Did you not receive the EHIC yet? Or have you lost your EHIC?
