If you are an EU citizen living in the United Kingdom, you would be covered by the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). The terms and conditions for medical or health-related expenses would be the same as the costs charged for British nationals. You will have to get in touch with your national healthcare service provider in case you don’t have the EHIC before moving to the United Kingdom. Expats from countries outside the EU will need an NHS number to avail healthcare services. You just have to fill an application form at a local health center and wait for a few days to get the NHS number, which should be sent to you by post. Short-term visitors from the EU can continue to access medically necessary healthcare through the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) scheme, or planned healthcare through the S2 funding route. Short-term visitors from the EU who are not covered by the new UK-EU agreement on reciprocal healthcare (including former UK residents) may be charged for NHS treatment. There are no changes to the healthcare entitlements of short-term visitors who are covered by bilateral healthcare agreements between the UK and countries outside the EU, including Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.
