European Health Insurance Card

This card replaces the E 111 that we used to use for medical treatment abroad. You can apply on-line but you have to very careful which website you use. If you search for EHIC you will be directed to a government site that charges you nearly £10- for the priviledge of using it. I suggest that you use another site http://www.ehic.org/requirements.html. On this form you simply say that you are renewing an old or expired card. That is exactly what you are doing if you replace the E 111. There is no charge for the card using this site.
