Suze01 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 From reading your other posts you have lived in France for some time now - or am I wrong, surely you should not still be on a UK health card. Apologies in advance if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanche Neige Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 "on the uk health card do you get reimbursed for dentistry" I may be wrong but I think it unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Driver Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 If you'd checked out the explanatory leaflet issued with your European Health Insurance Card or consulted the [url=http://www.dh.gov.uk/PolicyAndGuidance/HealthAdviceForTravellers/GettingTreatmentAroundTheWorld/EEAAndSwitzerland/EEAAndSwitzerlandArticle/fs/en?CONTENT_ID=4114793&chk=KCVYDZ] Department of Health [/url]website to familiarise yourself with the terms of cover before travelling to France, you'd have noted the following:"The EHIC is normally valid for three to five years and covers any medical treatment that becomes necessary during your trip, because of either illness or an accident. The card gives access to state-provided medical treatment only, and you'll be treated on the same basis as an 'insured' person living in the country you're visiting. Remember, this might not cover all the things you'd expect to get free of charge from the NHS in the UK. You may have to make a contribution to the cost of your care."The website goes on to explain:"Doctors, dentists and prescriptions: make sure the doctor or dentist you consult is 'conventionné' - i.e. they work within the French health system. After treatment, obtain a signed statement of the treatment given (a 'feuille de soins') - you can't claim a refund without it. You will be charged for the treatment you receive, as well as for any prescribed medicines, and the amount(s) should be shown on the feuille de soins.""Around 70 per cent of standard doctors' and dentists' fees are refunded, and between 35 and 65 per cent of the cost of most prescribed medicines. The cost of common remedies and items such as bandages are refunded at the lower rate. The cost of medicines marked with a Δ vignette or N.R. is not recoverable."
