The GHIC has replaced the EHIC: what is it? ๐ค
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) has been replaced by the new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC).
Because so many of our customers are planning long awaited European holidays this year, we have put together a list of answers to the 5 most frequently asked questions we receive about the GHIC.
Of course, although it is very useful, the GHIC should never be a replacement for travel insurance - we tell you why in question 4 - so if you do need cover for an upcoming trip, please feel free to get a quote from us now.
The new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) gives you access to state healthcare, such as emergency treatment at A&E or standard treatment for a long term medical condition, in a European Union country or Switzerland at a reduced cost or sometimes for free.
