Due europei su cinque hanno la tessera europea di assicurazione malattia

Latest figures show that over 190 million people hold a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), allowing them to get emergency healthcare and so enjoy worry-free holidays when travelling within the European Union, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland.
|
Secondo gli ultimi dati, oltre 190 milioni di persone sono in possesso di una tessera europea di assicurazione malattia (TEAM), che consente loro di ottenere assistenza sanitaria d’emergenza e quindi di godersi vacanze spensierate quando viaggiano nell’Unione europea, in Svizzera, Liechtenstein, Norvegia e Islanda.
|
3 |
The number of EHIC holders has been steadily increasing, with 15 million more citizens carrying an EHIC in 2012 compared to the previous year.
|
Il numero di titolari di TEAM è costantemente aumentato e nel 2012 i cittadini in possesso della tessera erano 15 milioni in più rispetto all’anno precedente.

Il Commissario europeo per l'Occupazione, gli affari sociali e l'inclusione, László Andor, ha dichiarato:

"The European Health Insurance Card is a real success, with two out of five Europeans now holding a card that could save them time and money if they fall ill or get injured during a trip abroad.
|
"La tessera europea di assicurazione malattia è un vero successo. Attualmente due europei su cinque ne possiedono una, che può far loro risparmiare tempo e denaro se si ammalano o si feriscono durante un viaggio all’estero.
|
6 |
Most of the time, the EHIC works without any problems.
|
Nella maggior parte dei casi, la TEAM funziona senza problemi.
|
7 |
However, if a Member State fails to fulfil its obligations under EU law and refuses to recognise the card, the Commission will take action to defend the rights of European citizens".
|
Tuttavia, se uno Stato membro non rispetta i propri obblighi derivanti dal diritto dell’UE e rifiuta di riconoscere la tessera, la Commissione si attiva per difendere i diritti dei cittadini europei".
|
8 |
The EHIC confirms that a person is entitled to receive emergency treatment in the host country's public healthcare system on the same terms and at the same cost as nationals of that country.
|
La TEAM conferisce al detentore il diritto di ricevere cure urgenti nel sistema sanitario nazionale del paese ospitante alle stesse condizioni e allo stesso prezzo dei cittadini di quel paese.
|
9 |
The card is issued for free by the national health insurance provider in the home country. The EHIC cannot be used to cover planned treatment in another country.
|
E' rilasciata gratuitamente dal servizio sanitario nazionale nel paese d'origine e non può essere utilizzata per coprire cure programmate in un altro paese.
|
10 |
Hospitals that provide public health services are obliged to recognise the EHIC.
|
Gli ospedali che offrono servizi sanitari pubblici sono obbligati a riconoscere la TEAM.
|
11 |
In the vast majority of cases, patients presenting the EHIC receive the necessary healthcare and are reimbursed without any problems.
|
Nella grande maggioranza dei casi, i pazienti che la presentano ricevono la necessaria assistenza sanitaria e sono rimborsati senza problemi.
|
12 |
In case the EHIC is not accepted, patients should contact the relevant health authority in the country they are visiting.
|
Qualora la TEAM non sia accettata, i pazienti devono contattare l’autorità sanitaria competente del paese in cui stanno soggiornando.
|
13 |
The emergency contact numbers are easily accessible via the EHIC application for smartphones and tablets (see below).
|
I numeri di contatto per le emergenze sono facilmente accessibili tramite l'applicazione TEAM per smartphone e tablet (si veda oltre).
|
14 |
In case of further refusal, patients should request support from their home country's health authorities.
|
In caso di rifiuto reiterato, i pazienti devono richiedere l'assistenza delle autorità sanitarie del proprio paese d'origine.
|
15 |
If they still encounter problems, patients should contact the European Commission.
|
Se il problema persiste, devono contattare la Commissione europea.
|
16 |
The Commission can investigate the claims and raise the issue with the authorities of the country concerned, as it recently did with Spain (IP/13/474).
|
La Commissione può esaminare le denunce e sollevare la questione con le autorità del paese interessato, come ha fatto di recente con la Spagna (IP/13/474).
|
17 |
Infringement procedures will be opened against any Member State not applying EU law on the use of the EHIC.
|
Saranno avviati procedimenti di infrazione contro ogni Stato membro che non applica la normativa europea sull’uso della TEAM.
