In order to get any medical treatment or consultation students need to book an appointment first. You can do that by calling the selected Health Care Institution (HCI) or going directly to it. Phone numbers of Lithuanian HCI in Kaunas for registration purposes are provided bellow. For scheduled medical treatment you will have to consult with a general practitioner first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please be aware that during the visit at the clinic you have to present your Health Insurance document together with an identification card or passport. Note! Student ID card is not acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case of an emergency situation you can go directly to the hospital or call the ambulance. Emergency number in Lithuania is 112.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The doctor has the right to charge your visit if you do not have EHIC. Make sure you get a medical extract or doctor\u2019s explanation form (list of the health care services received) in such case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EHIC will not help you with rescue and repatriation \u2013 if you need free transport back home after falling seriously ill or after having an accident while visiting another EU country, you will need a separate insurance cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need to be reimbursed, present the paid bills or documents proving the payment together with doctor\u2019s explanation form to your health insurance institution when you return home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember: only the costs of necessary medical care are reimbursed at your home country in case you have to pay for the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EHIC holders are eligible to be reimbursed for the costs of subsidized medicines prescribed for out-patient treatment purposes. There are 4 reimbursement levels for medicines: 100%, 90%, 80% and 50% of reference price. Subsidized medicines can only be obtained with a doctor\u2019s prescription. A person must show his EHIC and the identity document in the pharmacy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
