European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)

Tourists, students, delegated workers, unemployed persons, travellers on business

The EHIC is issued for insured persons who will temporarily stay in an EC/EFTA member country, for example on a holiday, a business trip or for a semester of studies. It has to be presented to the medical service provider in case of immediately necessary medical treatment which cannot wait until the intended return to the home country. Every insured person will receive an EHIC in his/her own name.
In case the insured person is not able to present the EHIC on time, for example because of loss or late delivery, a Certificate provisionally replacing the European Health Insurance Card will be issued by the competent health insurance.
