A GUIDE TO THE EUROPEAN HEALTH INSURANCE CARD (EHIC) The Leader Newspaper Online

01.04.10

There has been a lot of discussion recently about healthcare rights and some confusion about the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), the little blue cards that used to be known as E111 forms. 

Here is a brief guide to EHIC entitlements which should answer some of your questions.  Of course, if you still have doubts about EHIC use, you can visit www.nhs.co.uk , ukinspain.fco.gov.uk or contact your local Pension, Benefit and Healthcare Team based at the British Consulates in Alicante and Malaga.

A few other things to remember about EHICs:

-       Residency in this instance refers to your centre of interest.  This can be defined by where you spend most of your time, where you work or where you have your main ties.

-       EHICs offer access to treatment on the same basis that health care is normally provided to nationals of that State.
