compensation following an accident
illness or injury - nationwide
Call: 0800 10 757 95
Any UK citizen who has had to make a holiday accident claim for injuries sustained in an accident while holidaying in a European Economic Area (EEA) country will understand just how essential it is to have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
The EHIC is a vital document which provides free or reduced cost to people who suffer injury or illness while abroad; holders of an EHIC can save literally tens of thousands of pounds.
In 2005 the EHIC replaced a document called the E111. The E111 is no longer valid, so it is vital that anyone who still has a E111 applies for an EHIC in advance of going on holiday.
Around 28 million people in Britain are thought to hold an EHIC, and for good reason. Not only can facilitate vital first step on the road to recovery for anyone who is considering making a holiday accident claim, it also covers treatment for existing illnesses, chronic diseases and maternity care.
However, there are concerns that, with cover only lasting for three to five years after date of issue, many people who applied for an EHIC at the document's inception in 2005 are about to lose their entitlement to cover without realizing it.
3.6 million cards are due to expire in 2009 and, for those, who go on holiday without renewing the document, the results could be catastrophic.
It is completely free to apply for or renew an EHIC and it is possible to do so up to six months before the date of expiry.
If you wish to apply for one, you can do so here.
