During my visit I suddenly realise that I have forgotten or lost my Card. What should I do?
If you have forgotten or lost your European Card, you can ask your sickness insurance institution to fax or e-mail you a provisional replacement certificate.

This is equivalent to the European Card and will give you the same entitlement to health care and reimbursement of the associated costs incurred during a temporary stay in another Member State. This course of action is particularly advised if you should need to be hospitalised.


Hope this is of help dot .. i copied and pasted it , thats why its come out as a question 1st

I am having a small operation next week though and wonder if it may affect my cover, I might put the op off til I get back.
