The European health insurance card (EHIC) is a health insurance card that everyone in the European Union is entitled to. This insurance card covers you when you are travelling around europe. It is the equivalent as national health insurance except it is only valid in the other EU states. This is just a basic cover but it entitles you to go to a hospital or a doctors practice in any of the EU countries. In the UK it is free to apply for. You can apply online at: https://www.ehic.org.uk/Internet/home.do
