Health care and free movement? What do we learn from YEA 4/03/2016U-impact6

2. Feedback from YEA experts:  Most frequent EU patients’ requests for information: Will my prescription be recognised in another EU Member State? Can I seek healthcare abroad if the treatment is not available in my country? When would I need prior authorisation from my national authority?  Most frequent EU patients’ complaints: Denied reimbursements ; Authorisation refused; Non recognition of medical prescriptions. 4/03/2016U-impact12

3. Analyses from YEA experts:  Interaction between Directive 2011/24/EU and the Regulations on social security coordination remains unclear for most of the national & local authorities;  When reimbursement is possible under both routes, the Directive route only applies if the patients request it explicitly, which means a good understanding of both texts;  Partial transposition of the Directive;  Lack of coordination between the National Contact Points; 4/03/2016U-impact13

4/03/2016U-impact14 What should be done?

Some proposals  Highlight the positive implications of the Directive;  Raising awareness about first-hand information available at EU level has to be considered as an essential part of enabling citizens to exercise and enforce their rights;  A wide-ranging information campaign;  A better training of the institutions and persons involved; 4/03/2016U-impact15
