European health insurance card.
by: Christine Zafra
If you are planning to go to Europe, having insurance is not a problem at all. You are entitled to have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which allows you to have insurance when you are in any of the European countries. This insurance entitles you to have your medical treatment for a small fee (if not for free), and the coverage of this is three to five years from the date of your trip. This card is valid for anyone who goes to or lives in any of the European countries plus, other countries included in the European Economic Area (EEA) such as Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. What’s more is that, this insurance card covers pre-existing medical conditions (even chronic ones for that matter).
