EU rules on coordination of social security systems will continue to apply after 31 December 2020, which signals the end of the transition period, meaning that your rights will be maintained. These rules provide that – if you are receiving a pension from one State and reside in the territory of another State – your health insurance will be covered by the State that pays your pension. This means that your healthcare costs in France will continue to be covered by the French social security system on behalf of the United Kingdom.

If you have not already done so, you must request an S1 form “Registering for healthcare cover” from your British pension fund. This document will allow you to register with the French health insurance fund in your place of residence. The form will be valid for your entire period of residency in France and will provide you with coverage under the same conditions as a person insured under the French social security system.

If you also start to receive a French pension, and you continue to live in France, the coordination rules provide that the French system will directly cover your health insurance.

The provisions of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, which apply from 1 January 2021, are similar to existing provisions in EU regulations on coordination of healthcare. This will apply to situations as from 1 January 2021.

If authorised by your British health insurance fund or initiated before the end of the transition period, the requested care can be provided in France through to the end of your treatment.

You will need to apply for prior approval from your health insurance fund in the UK. If approved, your fund will issue you with an S2 form, which you will need to present to French authorities. In the absence of an agreement, you will be responsible for the cost of treatment.

Under the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, which applies from 1 January 2021, planned medical treatment will be possible but prior authorisation will be required. This will apply to applications submitted after the transition period ends, as from 1 January 2021.

If you continue to work and live in France after 31 December 2020, you will be able to use your EHIC during temporary stays in the UK subsequent to this date. Make sure you download the Provisional Replacement Certificate (PRC) from your personal account beforehand. This document, which is issued for a shorter period, certifies that you are covered by the withdrawal agreement and you will be asked for it in addition to, or instead of, your EHIC.
