• If you become ill or injured when on a temporary stay abroad, the form E111 or the European Health insurance Card will give you access to medical care which is necessary with regard to your state of health (for instance, if you break your leg, have an accident or fell suddenly ill) and with regard to the expected length of your stay.
  
  
• It does not matter if you are abroad as a tourist, or whether your journey is for work-related or private reasons.
  
  
• Without this form and other forms/or the card, you will have to pay for the treatment and will be reimbursed only after you return to the country where you are insured.
  
  
• Also, E111 is not designed for programmed health care.
  
  
• Ask your new employer for advice or help.
