Travel insurance

[Elab]

We are going to France beginning of August for 2 weeks.

Do I need health insurance or my EU card ( blue health one ) will cover me just in case?

I am ET Jak 2 + on pegasys and aspirin

Many thanks

You should have the health card but you should also have travel insurance, the card alone isn’t enough unfortunately. It doesn’t cover everything, and if you needed to be transported home it wouldn’t cover that and all the other extras such as baggage, belongings etc! Have a great holiday

Get all the insurance you can afford, I and my wife are examples of what happens if you only have the ehic card. See my other posts.

Hi Elab, it is advisable when you have a MPN to have travel insurance, and not just rely in the EIHC, the card will not cover costs if you need to be medically transferred back to the UK, see details here mpnvoice.org.uk/living-with...
