European Health Insurance Card

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) provides individuals with access to emergency and urgent medical or dental care while traveling for tourism, study, or work. It is valid across all European Union member countries, as well as in Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Serbia, and North Macedonia.

Due to technical reasons, the cause of which is not coming from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), applications for the issuing of European Health Insurance Cards can not be verified and the card issuance process will be delayed, the NHIF announced.

Bulgarian citizens will be able to use the European Health Insurance Card on the territory of Serbia as of June 1, 2014.
