Claiming back medical expenses

My daughter needed to get treatment by a doctor when she was in Kavos for a reaction to mosquito bites. As we hadn't paid the waiver on the excess she had to pay £50 despite having a EU Card with her. The doctor seemed to think that though she wouldn't get anything back from the insurers she would be able to claim on the NHS? Does anyone know if this is true? If it is, is there a deadline on claims?
Thanks

No - nothing can be claimed from the NHS.
If anything can be claimed it will be through the Greek authorities - details are in the booklet that comes with the EHIC card. Looks possible if you still have the official receipts.0 -
I'll have a look at the booklet and see what we can do. I did say to my daughter that she will just have to put it down to experience and try not to get things wrong with her when she goes away! This is the 3rd holiday in a row where something minor has happened - she's cut her foot, fallen over and now allergic to mozzie bites!
