1. Don’t forget your EHIC
Avoid having to pay a bill on the spot: always carry your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
It’s once again possible to go on holidays abroad. But what about your health and your health insurance? Being well prepared has never been so important as now. Follow these tips to help ensure a care-free trip.
Avoid having to pay a bill on the spot: always carry your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
Since medical care is often more expensive abroad, carefully check which costs will be reimbursed.
Because your health insurance does not cover all medical costs, it’s wise to ensure that your travel insurance includes medical cover too.
Check the travel advice before you head off: that way you know where it’s safe to go (in Dutch).
Carry important numbers with you at all times, like the CZ Helpline (+31 13 468 04 02). Call this number right away if you need medical care while travelling abroad.
With this handy app you can submit a claim for costs you paid on the spot at the doctor’s or pharmacy.
