The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)?

The European Health Insurance CardThe European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) entitles UK residents access to necessary, state provided medical treatment, during a temporary visit in the European Economic Area (EEA) countries and Switzerland - at a reduced cost or free of charge. The EHIC is valid for five years.

As a valued Flexicover policyholder, you will have no excess to pay when the EHIC is used.

Please remember to take your EHIC with you when you travel and check that it is still valid, as you are required to present it for medical treatment. Each traveller will require a card. The EHIC will cover the costs of managing pre-existing medical conditions, maternity care or renal dialysis but it will not cover you if you are going abroad to receive medical treatment.

The EHIC is not an alternative to Travel Insurance. Repatriation, private medical treatment, mountain rescue, stolen property and the like are not covered. Single Trip ‚  Annual Multi-Trip ‚  Gap Year ‚  Long Stay or  Winter Sports Travel Insurance quotation.
