Sunday Driver Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 The EHIC isn't just for emergency treatment. It covers any medical treatment that becomes necessary during a visit to the UK because of either illness or an accident. So when my piles flare up next time I'm over there, although it won't be an emergency, I'll expect to get the same full gamut of NHS treatment as any other UK sufferer....[;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
