European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland:
If you or any of your dependants are suddenly taken ill or have an accident during a visit to an EEA country or Switzerland, free or reduced-cost necessary treatment is available – in most cases on production of a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Each country has different rules about state medical provision. In some, treatment is free. In many countries you will have to pay part or all of the cost, and then claim a full or partial refund. The EHIC gives access to state-provided medical treatment only and the scheme gives no entitlement to medical repatriation costs, nor does it cover ongoing illnesses of a non-urgent nature, so comprehensive travel insurance is advised. Note that the EHIC replaces the Form E111, which is no longer valid. Some restrictions apply, depending on your nationality.
You can go to any doctor. You must pay for treatment and prescribed medicines. Make sure you get receipts for everything you pay for. You will be able to get a refund, although not always for the full amount. If a doctor thinks you need hospital treatment, they will issue a certificate which you should give to the hospital authorities. Treatment is normally free but you must pay a non-refundable daily charge. If you can't contact a doctor before being admitted, show your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) to the hospital authorities and ask them to contact the Sickness Insurance Fund.
