Health insurance cards in Denmark
To get medically necessary state healthcare in Denmark, you need a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) or a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
The NHS바카라 사이트™s has details about:

- who qualifies for a new EHIC instead of a GHIC

A GHIC or EHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance. You may have costs your GHIC or EHIC does not cover, including:
- changes to travel and accommodation bookings
- additional standard costs for treatment
- medical repatriation to the UK
- treatment that is ruled non-urgent
- private healthcare
- private clinics

If you travel to the Faroe Islands, you should still take your GHIC or EHIC with you. You바카라 사이트™ll need to provide proof of identity and nationality, such as your UK passport.
