Vital Health Benefits with European Health Insurance Card

Dec. 4, 2012 - PRLog -- Recent study organized in Europe about health care plans has determined that The European Health Insurance Card covers bigger health benefits for card holders. This card covers almost all of the treatment cost in any European Union Country. The benefit is also available for Norway and Switzerland in same way. The card facility is based upon NHS help. As effect of this health benefits option, countries who offer health care to card holders recoup the cost from NHS.

However, in some cases EHIC health care facilities are not available. It does not offer health coverage for mountain rescue neither for repatriation treatment. In this case, you should have a travel insurance coverage even over the health protection of the European health insurance card. Travel insurance become more necessary if you want to pursue activities such as skiing where possibilities of getting injury reach at higher level. In research reports, it has been found that individuals generally feel secured for their health after getting the European medical insurance (http://www.privatehealthinsurance247.co.uk/) card and do not bother to buy travel insurance. Majority of EHIC holder become surprised to know that travel insurance is not covered inside the plan and further face financial difficulties to manage health treatment due to certain reasons during travelling.

Patients who have applied for skiing injury cover before 2006 have easily received the coverage but later on patients get surprised to see that their plan has expired and there is no more coverage for injuries or illness during travel. The card was replaced with E111 form which ceased to be valid in 2006.

Patients who applied for EHIC travel coverage after that period get surprised to know that there is no coverage for them from health card. Every family member should have a card and each one should have its own PIN which should begin with the letters ‘UK’. Car renewal is available online without any cost.
