EUförsäkran

EUförsäkran, also known as European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), is a travel document that allows citizens of the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland to access healthcare services in other EEA countries and Switzerland at a reduced cost. It is not a health insurance policy but rather a card that entitles the holder to receive healthcare services at the same cost as local residents.

The EUförsäkran is issued by the national authorities of each EEA country and Switzerland. It is valid for the duration of the holder's stay in the country and can be used for emergency and non-emergency healthcare services. The card is free of charge and can be obtained from the national authorities or through the European Commission's website.

The EUförsäkran is valid for all healthcare services provided by public healthcare systems in the EEA countries and Switzerland. However, it does not cover private healthcare services or services provided by private healthcare providers. It is important to note that the EUförsäkran does not provide any financial compensation for healthcare services, but rather entitles the holder to receive services at the same cost as local residents.
