British Health Cover Overseas

British health officials are concerned that UK citizens are not taking E111 forms with them when they jump on a plane to EU countries.  Form E111 covers medical treatment at public health centres at the 25 EU countries, plus Switzerland. The forms are currently being replaced by European Health Insurance Cards – the same system under a different name, with neater credit card-sized identification. The Department of Health website (www.dh.gov.uk) has information on the changeover, and how to apply for the new cards.
