EHIC card
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) provides security when traveling or working abroad. This important and useful card allows you to receive basic medical care free of charge. It is recognized in many countries of the European Union, including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, among others. In addition, it is also valid in countries of the European Free Trade Association EFTA, such as Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. In addition, the EHIC card is also recognized in the United Kingdom.

What does the EHIC card cover?
The EHIC card allows you to receive basic medical benefits on the same basis as citizens of the country. In case of sudden illness, injury or accident, you can receive the necessary medical assistance. However, it is worth remembering that the EHIC Card does not cover the cost of planned treatments or long-term treatment. Employees traveling abroad for work purposes can also obtain a European Health Insurance Card, which will provide them with the necessary medical assistance if needed.
How to make an EHIC Card? The process and available methods
The process of obtaining an EHIC Card is simple and free of charge. All you need to do is apply for an EHIC Card at a NHF branch, by email, traditional mail or electronically via ePUAP portal, or Internet Patient Account. It is also possible to pick up the card in person or authorize another person to do so.
How to use the EHIC Card for medical assistance?
If you need medical assistance abroad, you can use health care providers who have an agreement with the local health insurance company. Before going to a health care provider, check the available medical services covered by the EHIC Card on the NHF website. When registering, please remember to show your EHIC Card and proof of identity.
Making an EHIC card on the spot - Is it possible?
It is worth knowing that it may be possible to issue an EHIC Card on the spot at a branch of the National Health Service, but the waiting time may be longer during busy tourist periods. Therefore, we recommend that you apply for an EHIC Card in advance to ensure that the document will be ready on time.
Important information about the EHIC Card - Rules and restrictions
Before traveling, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the rules and limitations of the EHIC Card. Although the card guarantees basic medical protection, there are certain benefits that are not covered by the EHIC Card. Therefore, it is important to be aware of your rights and obligations and consider additional travel insurance for more complete protection.
