Description

The procedure concerns the issuing of a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), a free card, which is provided to those who are actively insured by e-EFKA, in order to have access to medically necessary state care during their temporary stay in one of the 27 EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, with the same conditions and at the same cost (in some countries, free of charge) as insured persons in that country.

Basic information

Competent body

MINISTRY OF LABOR AND SOCIAL SECURITY


Provided to

Travelers

Validity duration

1 year

Notes

The European Insurance Card does not replace travel insurance. It does not cover private healthcare, nor costs such as a ticket for the return flight to the country of origin or loss/theft of property. In addition, it does not cover the costs if the insured person travels specifically to receive medical treatment. Finally, it does not guarantee that services are provided free of charge, as each country’s healthcare system is different; services that are provided free of charge in the country of origin may not be free of charge in another country. N.B.: if normal residence is transferred to another country, registration is required using the S1 form instead of using the European Health Insurance Card, in order for the insured person to receive medical treatment in that country.
