European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)

Are you temporarily staying in an EU country? With a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), you don’t have to pay necessary medical costs in advance.

Do you need healthcare abroad? Call the Anderzorg Emergency Center. You can reach them day and night at +31 317 455 555.

• With the EHIC you don’t have to pay necessary medical costs in advance, during a temporary stay abroad. This applies to most European (state) hospitals.
• At private hospitals, the EHIC is often not valid.
• You are entitled to receive necessary medical care by the law of the country you are staying in.
• The foreign healthcare provider will use the information on your EHIC to claim the medical costs at Anderzorg.
• In some countries you will pay a part of the medical costs yourself (personal contribution).
• Some of the medical assistance abroad is not (fully) covered.
