Your right to choose under the NHS

We have moved to:

medrefund.co.uk


Are you living in the UK?

 You can choose to have your medical treatment abroad and we will recover the costs from the NHS on your behalf.


A new European Union directive states that a patient living in The UK has the right to choose a service provider in the EEA (European Economic Area) and can lawfully recover the costs from the NHS. This means that any person living in the UK can seek healthcare abroad and be reimbursed.
If you are planning to receive treatment abroad, or have already received treatment abroad - you have the right to seek reimbursement for any of the following treatments:
· Emergency or necessary medical care for acute problems.
· Outpatient services such as doctor consultations, various types of diagnostics, dental care, medical care received in outpatient departments of hospitals, arthroscopic surgery, vein surgery, laser eye surgery, etc.  For more information on the NHS paid out-patient services click here .
· Inpatient health care services that require an overnight hospital stay.  In this case prior authorisation from the NHS will be required. We therefore recommend contacting us before you travel to enable us to obtain the necessary authorisation

! A refund is possible only for medical services that are medically necessary.
