EHIC Update

Add caption

In the news recently, you may have seen or read items regarding the non-acceptance of The European Health Insurance Card by some hospitals in Spain, who instead were insisting on either an Insurance Policy or cash. It is difficult to know how to counsel our travellers in this event as there is little that can be done at the time and, in fact, you may already be in some distress so that arguing with Spanish Hospital authorities would certainly be inadvisable.

UK Government Authorities are reinforcing the advice that Travel Insurance should always be taken out when travelling abroad in any case, as an EHIC card would only ever provide you with the Health Cover given to local residents and this may not be as full as that provided by our own NHS.

Remember, our own staff are ready to advise and our website can help walk you through your Travel Insurance choices and provide you with full peace of mind during your holidays.
