European Health Insurance Card
In case you fall ill on a trip within Europe you need the EHIC as legitimation of your health insurance.
As a TK member you also have insurance protection on your trips within Europe because Germany has entered into social insurance treaties with most European countries. Should you fall ill during your holiday you may claim all benefits in accordance with the law of the country of travel that cannot be put off until your return to Germany. To receive treatment, just present your TK insurance card with integrated European health insurance card (EHIC, found on the back of your insurance card) or an E111 form from TK.
The EHIC is valid in the following countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Cyprus (Greek part).
