How do I reclaim EHIC Health Costs

SAGWALA_3

Good evening,

I have recently returned from France, having spent a very short stint in the local hospital dealing with an ear complaint.

I visited twice and despite presenting my valid EHIC was presented with the full bill for £46.

I have been informed by friends that I can reclaim some of this money, but do not know how to go about this.

Can anyone help please ?? :beer:

Thankyou.

This NHS website gives you details about how to claim a refund.

How to claim refunds
Reimbursements are claimed from the local CPAM office (Caisse Primaire D‘Assurance Maladie) in France. You will need to provide the treatment form (feuille de soins), copies of receipts and prescriptions, a copy of your EHIC, your address of residence and your bank details, including IBAN and BIC. Confirmation of your refund will be sent to your home address.
If you have had to pay for the cost of your care and have been unable to claim a refund during your stay in France you should contact the Overseas Healthcare Team (Newcastle) on 0191 218 1999 (Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm) on your return to the UK. However, this process will take longer than claiming for a refund in France.

Google is your friend.
