On a recent visit to this area my husband and I
became ill and was directed by the resort staff to an English speaking
Doctor. We were examined and given a prescription for medicines.
When the Doctor gave us her bill we produced our
E111 forms and were then advised that she was in private practice and
not part of the Spanish State Health Service. We had to pay her and also
pay for the prescribed medicines. We were able to partly reclaim from
our travel insurance but have learned a lesson – get details in
advance from www.doh.gov.uk/traveladvice/eeachecklist.htm
about how the system works in the country you intend to visit – this
site of course only covers countries in the European Economic Area. |
