You pay the bill then you fill out a NHS form to claim a refund.
They give you receipts and information on what was done.

Then you fill in the claim form, using the receipts and then the NHS can see your UK medical record to see if there are any reasons you aren't covered. Then they refund you.

Hi! fair enough but I havent been given any bills to pay. Thats why I would like to know how this all works, Im assuming health care department abroad where I was treated will send something to NHS. Is that not correct? If I havent been given a bill whos going to pay it?  

How long ago did you have your treatment?

Recently . Does this matter?

You may still receive a bill for the treatment,

But Ive been told I wont get a bill if I supply EHIC card etc, which I did. How long does it take to get a bill? What if you get treatment and go back home ,where do they send this bill to? Do you work for the department or you guessing? I really would like to know how this all works but its not possible to find out. I would ask the department but I have no idea what department deals with this

You shouldn't usually get a bill if you use the EHIC, they bill the NHS direct. I did once but it was a mistake, I replied saying I showed my EHIC and they shouldn't be billing me, never heard back from them, so they just hadn't followed the proper process. 

The same process apparently occurs in the UK, if you live in Manchester and have an accident in London, the London NHS will bill the Manchester NHS for your treatment! (or whatever the local trusts are).
