Within the framework of this service, a resident may apply for himself or herself, his or her minor children or persons under guardianship for a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), as well as receive information regarding the EHIC issued. The European Health Insurance Card or EHIC (in English - European Health Insurance Card) is a plastic card which certifies that a person is a resident of a Member State of the European Union, a Member State of the European Economic area (Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein) or the Swiss Confederation (hereinafter - Member State) and is insured in his or her own country. During a temporary stay in another Member State or in the United Kingdom, the EHIC shall certify the right to receive the necessary or urgent medical treatment to the same extent as it is provided to the population of that State. Such assistance will be provided by medical institutions and doctors providing nationally guaranteed healthcare services in the country concerned. The type and amount of services to be provided shall be evaluated by the treating physician in each individual case.
