"It might be ok until 2022 depending on a) whether we leave the EU b) what deal we agree if we leave regarding future relationship with the EU c) regardless of the deal, whether we agree to make payments for our commitments in return for continuing benefits. " Do EU countries pay us (NHS)? For the reciprocal benefits the many more EU citizens receive? I think there may be a "charge back" mechanisms within it (but can't be bothered checking, some cocky sod on here will know). The key thing being it is "reciprocal" so any argument about 'continuing to pay' should work both ways? | |||

Legally we are entitled to claim the money back from the party that is providing the insurance (European Health Insurance Card). In most cases that would be the State. In most of Europe this is done routinely. In the UK, although better now than in the past, this is still not always done. And you are correct, it is reciprocal, so charging should go both ways. | |||

Yes... in effect that country is billed by the NHS for treating that person Just like as someone said here a uk citizen living in the European or if you were on holiday your treatment would in effect end up being paid by UK plc | |||

Yes; the country that does the treatment sends the itemized bill,to the person's country for repayment. Problem is that U.K. NHS is so crap,at admin that they don't send all the bills for treatment of visitors to the EU country. So non payment is UK's fault. | |||

I would not travel abroad without insurance would you !!! "If they are EU citizens with an EHIC; then they are treated and UK sends the bill to their country for payment. Unfortunately, UK NHS is so shambolic that it doesn't send most of the bills ( it doesn't even calculate Them half the time). EU countries are,particularly good at settling the bills they get. | |||

"Arnt the NHS owed millions from country's in the EU ?" Yes but our NHS needs to send the bills out.....BUT THEY DON'T But like a lot of things its often phrased as its the EU countries that aren't coughing up, they do if they get sent a bill. | |||

"It seems that we only have a 7% claim back rate from EU countries! I shudder to think what it is from non EU countries." It is a scandal. Does anyone know what figure that amounts to in £m per year for both EU & non EU countries? If there is not recent data I might have to send off some FOI requests... | |||

"It seems that we only have a 7% claim back rate from EU countries! I shudder to think what it is from non EU countries." I don't believe that we have claim back agreements with non-EU countries, I believe the claim back would be from the idividual to pay their bill, or from their insurance company if they have one. | |||

Yes, that would be right. Not sure if insurance companies "dispute" payments or not but the sums must be immense. Having seen the last BBC2 series of Hospital, where individuals were billed and then just walked away without paying, I think the sums are probably in the billions. | |||

"Despite all the scaremongering, the UK will still remain part of the European continent. Were leaving the Eu not Europe. The Government will still honour your health care cover in Europe and that reciprocal agreements will be agreed in this area. If you fall unwell in a European country, you will be treated, as always wherever we travel in the world it is wise to have insurance to cover treatment costs. As we all know the NHS is free at point of contact where as a lot of Europeans pay for their healthcare in some form of top up insurance. In France the government pay 70% you top up the 30% with insurance. Your card expires 2022 and will be honoured. Mine expired this month and I am not allowed a new one! I wonder if I will be treated if I have an accident in the UK? " well since EHIC is in effect an agreement between the EU and the EEA...... and we are leaving the EU, and you can't be a member of the EEA without that "freedom of movement" thing.... the UK in effect actually ceases to become a member of either in April 19..... that that First Paragraph that you wrong about the UK leaving the EU and not Europe and nothing changing and it being honoured ect ect ect is actually factually incorrect at the moment, and it is going to have to be one of the things that is going to have to be negoiated... | |||

We do need to be better at reclaiming costs but I wonder if the figures for Brit no-shows for appointments doesn't cost more? I am always shocked that people take it for granted and waste time and money that could have helped someone else. | |||
