does that mean i am entitled to free medical care?
re: e111 again
for the zillion time: the E111 is replaced by eurocross-card for EU members. UK has another insurance.Sorry, can't answer your question coz Im not from the UK
re: e111 again
if you read my pst properly you would see i sed about the health card thing and posted a link to a previous post, my question was am i entitled to health card, not what is the card called!!!re: e111 again
Col, the EHIC card (replaced the E111) only covers very basic medical attention and can never replace a full travel insurance policy. Search and rescue, for example, in the alps can cost as much as £20,000 if a helicopter is used - honest!!re: e111 again
k nice one mate, thats what i was checking, i would never forgo insurance anyway, but checking if it was worth the hassle applying for a cardre: e111 again
It is worth having the EHIC for 2 reasons.
Firstly some insurance policies will not pay out unless u have it. Not all but some. However unless u read the small print before buying a policy then u wont know. Most people are buying insurance policies these days from the internet or from high street stores like boots & Tesco as it is cheaper, but be careful.

Secondly, Except for the most expensive polices most have lower & upper claim limits. Therefore it is advantageous to have the EHIC to take care of the lesss expensive treatment if needed.
Just because u are travelling on a British passpost does not mean u will get free treatment, u must have applied for the EHIC card prior to going abroad.
Hope this helps.
