Quillan Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Mrs 'Q' received her S1 two months back and with the paperwork it said that from her birthday she would no longer be able to get/use her EHIC card from France but would have to get it from the UK in future. It also said she would still(?) get free healthcare treatment in the UK. I can only assume this is because the UK now pays her healthcare be it in France of the UK, the money comes from the same source. I put the ? next to 'still' because as far as I was aware we got free health care when visiting the UK on the back of our French EHIC card.

idun Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Yes, that is right Q, but remember to show that UK EHIC, that was issued with an S1 for non UK residents, if needing the usual medical treatment in the UK, as the NHS is based on residence or having the 'right' card with you. That is how it should work.edited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
