I had some A+E treatment in France over a month ago, showed the European Health Insurance card, wasnt asked for any payment. The bill has just arrived including details of the French Bank account into which Im supposed to pay it in euros.
The booklet which came with the EHI cards suggests that partial re-imbursement can be claimed but only if you do it while still in France, so thats out. I dont really mind paying, its not alot, but wondered whether anyone had ever successfully claimed the cost in the past (possible reciprocal arrangement with the NHS?). Also if I do have to pay, how do I do it practically as its in euros?
Didnt involve insurance company by the way as didnt seem worth the hassle, would have had to pay an excess anyway and then would have had a claim history.
Any advice welcome!
