I've previously covered the disadvantages of breaking your leg while skiing, and the disadvantages of getting a break-away DVT in the recovery process.
So much for the bad news.
On a more positive note can I strongly suggest that you all make a note of your E111 number. Maybe send it to yourself in a text message that you put into your saved messages box.
I just got the final bills from the swiss hospital.
The E111 card covered 98.5% of the bill (or close to).
Total bill chf 8650
Total I have to pay (or rather total I will pass on to holiday insurance) just chf 92

We didn't have ours on us when Jules injured himself, although as a rule we do so, but i picked his card up immediately when I went to collect the car and change out of my ski boots. (Shame I didn't manage to change out of the ski gear, which I was still wearing 24 hours later) . Charges passed on to our insurer were slightly more than 92chf, (around 300€) but still far below the cost of the treatment. If anyone is ever without it though, like the guy in next bed to Jules , ask your insurers if they can sort one out for you, he gave them his National Insurance number, and they did it for him. Hospital (Grenoble) were happy to accept this too.

I've got one but am a bit sketchy on what it actually does and how it all fits with travel insurance.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

narc, Using it normally means that the insurance company will not charge you an excess on your claim. Some insurance companies make it a condition that you use a EHIC.

You know it makes sense.
|
|
narc, and if you are daft enough not to have travel insurance, it will at least mean that you are treated in the same manner as every other resident of the country you have you accident in, providing it is in Switzerland, the EU, or a country with a reciprocal arrangement with the UK, which includes Norway, Iceland and Lichenstien.
