No! The European health insurance card applies to the compulsory insurance and NOT to the additional insurance, which includes medical assistance abroad by Mutas. This European Health Insurance Card does NOT replace the WAC Card or the MAC Card . So always take your World Assistance Card or Medical Assistance Card with you when you go on holiday abroad! The European Health Insurance Card gives residents of the Member States of the European Union (plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland) easy access to health care while staying in one of the EU countries (plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland). This card replaces the old form E111 and other treaty documents, which are used during a temporary stay abroad. You can apply for an EHIC online via the website of your health insurance fund. If you are traveling to Spain or Portugal, it is best to apply for your EHIC from your health insurance fund before you leave. After all, if you end up at a public hospital in Spain or Portugal, you will immediately have to present the European insurance card. If you do not have this with you, the hospital will request cash payment for the medical care and / or admission. MUTAS VZW Leliegaarde 20 1731 Zellik Tel +32 2 272 09 00 Disclaimer realized by Kubis
