countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland or the United Kingdom under the same conditions and at the same cost (free in some countries) as people insured in that country. The <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/social/BlobServlet?docId=6481&langId=en">benefits covered</a> include, for example, benefits provided in conjunction with chronic or existing illnesses as well as in conjunction with pregnancy and childbirth.</p> <p>Cards are issued by your <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=563&langId=en#nationalinfo">national health insurance provider</a>.</p> <p><strong>Important</strong> – the European Health Insurance Card:</p> <ul> <li>is <strong>not an alternative to travel insurance</strong>. It does not cover any private healthcare or costs such as a return flight to your home country or lost/stolen property,</li> <li>does <strong>not cover</strong> your costs if you are <strong>travelling for the express purpose of</strong> obtaining <strong>medical treatment</strong>,</li> <li>does <strong>not guarantee free services</strong>. As each country’s healthcare system is different services that cost nothing at home might not be free in another country.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Please note</strong>: when you move your <strong>habitual residence</strong> to another country, you should register with the <a href="https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/work/social-security-forms/index_en.htm">S1 form</a> instead of using the EHIC to receive medical care in your new country of habitual residence.</p> </div> </article>                 <section class="ecl-u-mv-l"> <h2 class="ecl-heading ecl-heading--h2" id="navItem-relatedNews">Related news</h2> <ul class="ecl-listing hr-listing ecl-listing--three-columns"> <li class="ecl-list-item hr-list-item ecl-list-item--three-columns"> <a href="main.jsp?langId=en&catId=559&furtherNews=yes&newsId=10788" class="ecl-link ecl-list-item__link"> <div class="ecl-list-item__primary"> <p class="ecl-paragraph"> <img src="BlobServlet?mode=displayPicture&photoId=13073" alt=""/> </p> </div> <div class="ecl-list-item__body ecl-u-mh-s ecl-u-mh-sm-none"> <div class="ecl-list-item__meta"> <div class="ecl-meta"><span class="ecl-meta__item">12/03/2024</span></div> </div> <h3 class="ecl-list-item__title ecl-heading ecl-heading--h3">Annual report on intra-EU labour mobility 2023 published</h3> <div class="ecl-list-item__action"></div> </div> </a> </li> <li class="ecl-list-item hr-list-item ecl-list-item--three-columns"> <a href="main.jsp?langId=en&catId=559&furtherNews=yes&newsId=10702" class="ecl-link ecl-list-item__link"> <div class="ecl-list-item__primary"> <p class="ecl-paragraph"> <img src="BlobServlet?mode=displayPicture&photoId=12983" alt="Travelling during winter holidays?
