' Not every NHS treatment in England is free of charge, examples of things you may have to pay for include charges for dental treatment and prescription costs. Non-UK residents will also be charged for hospital treatments. If you are an overseas visitor to the UK you may be charged for some treatments and, depending on how urgent it is, you will usually have to pay in advance.
Different rules may apply to visitors from the EEA (European Economic Area). For more detailed advice see the Information for EU/EEA visitors section. '
