Tony Jones Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I posted this today on another EHIC-related thread, on "Hints & Tips," but I've copied it here as this is a "sticky," and the info may be useful to others in the future: Glancing through this thread made me wonder about the expiry date of our EHICs. Sure enough, it was last October, and we're off to France on Easter Monday! So I phoned up the automated system and did the renewal, but was told by the robot lady it'd take 7-10 working days. Phoned again, sat quietly and ignored all entreaties to speak or press buttons, until I was put through to a real person, nice young Geordie called Kerry, who assured me that our cards would be in force from today even though we hadn't got them, and gave me an emergency phone no which we could use if necessary to get a copy of the card faxed to a hospital or wherever. If anyone else needs it, it's +44 1912 181999, and option 2. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesley Cheek Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'd agree with that, really up themselves at the Northern Motorhome Show and don't bother going to Newark to even look at a van without an appointment, and when you do get to look the sales person hasn't a clue.

EHTC-LTD Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Don What a fantastic piece of work. I know and appreciate how much time and effort you must have put into this. I was trawling the internet looking for articles in reference to the EHIC card and the Governing bodies holding reciprocal health care. I have an on line business called European Health Translation Card (EHTC-Ltd) for short. I am passionate about highlighting the need for people to get their card and also being able to get medical assistance at a State Healthcare hospital. Everyone in Europe seems to be obsessed with taking a commision for sending you to a private Medical centre or Hospital. I wanted to make sure by a simple translation card that people traveling in an EU country and who need medical assistance are directed to a Hospital which accepts our EHIC card. Please take a look at our web site. www.ehtc-ltd.co.uk Regards Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Salisbury Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Whist visiting Cz Republic last July my in-growing toe nail flared up and I had to go to hospital. I showed my EHIC and with in 30 minutes of arriving I was operated on and was given a prescription for antibiotics and pain killers which I paid for. Very reasonable. Helen my partner had to use the facilities of the same hospital the year before when she caught her thumb in the sliding door of MH and required some stitches.

snowie Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Len Salisbury - 2016-03-02 10:42 PM What is the situation if we opt out of the EU will our cards become defunct? Seems pretty inevitable doesn't it? Also pretty certain that european travel insurance will rise. regards alan b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
