The hospital and her treatment were excellent. However, her EHIC Card only covered 75%.
She was transferred to a UK hospital by ambulance, luckily only to Kent. That cost €145 which ad to be paid in cash there and then.
Thankfully she was insured.
I'm amazed the ambulance only cost €145. I would have expected it to be much more.
Go to the US and it can cost thousands even for the most minor treatment.0 -
