Welcome to the boards!

The best place to start might be Martin's articles, and the links to threads within them.

Also note there's been some adverse publicity for EHIC Plus, if they have pre-existing conditions that one might be worth avoiding ...

Hi - I assume you are referring to the EU Health card - both my husband and I are over 65 and am curious as to what the adverse publicity is and to avoid if one has pre existing conditions - I've looked at the article but cannot see any reference to this particular issue - thanks.

EHIC Plus is nothing to do with the EU Healrh Card except that the company are hoping that people think it is.

From their website...

ЄHICPlus is a travel insurance policy arranged by The Medical Screening Company Ltd.
