OVERSEAS PATIENTS

Provisional Replacement Certificates (12th October 2009)
Overseas visitors receiving clinically necessary treatment who fail to provide an European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), should be asked to obtain a Provisional Replacement Certificate (PRC) from the appropriate liaison body in the competent member state. A PRC provides the same access to free treatment as if it was an EHIC. PRC details should also be recorded and reported for a claim to be made.
