EHIC - paying upfront and getting reimbursed

Wanderingpomm

A EHIC will only cover to the level that a resident would get and so you will be able to claim a % of the treatment as this is what a french citizen would be able to claim back.

they also have to pay and claim via their national insurance system.

I claimed for a knee injury skiing and got about 150Eur from a 300Eur bill. it also depends if they took you to a public hosiptal or private clinic.

you won't get it all back as I believe you have to contribute to food etc in the hosipital. (as someone else said:housekeeping costs)

On the Cutting Tax Board you have said that you are not resident in the UK for tax purposes. Whilst the rules may be different I would expect that you are non resident for NHS purposes as well. The NHS is a residence based healthcare system so you may need to consider whether your OH was entitled to use the EHIC in the first place.

Ahh the plot thickens.
Listen to the OP, they want their cake and eat it too.

Imagine going on a holiday without insurance, madness that deserves the worst to happen.
"we are willing to chance it" says it all really

OP is an idiot, even more laughable 'cremation' abroad upon death.

Not only that, your posts indicate you are now resident in France.

A quick Google suggests new residents are eligible for French healthcare after 3 months of residency but you MUST register with a French healthcare insurer and a doctor in order to be properly reimbursed by the French healthcare system.

Have you not done this? It appears you're trying to convince them you're still a UK resident.
