Health cover
If you live in the UK. You can register with an NHS GP free of charge. DocTap is a private, pay-per-appointment option for a faster or more convenient appointment. Some workplace or private medical insurance covers private GP visits; check your policy.
If you are visiting. From an EU country, such as Latvia, Lithuania or Estonia? Your EHIC covers necessary NHS treatment during your stay, not private clinics. Other visitors may be charged for NHS hospital care, and the NHS advises visitors to have medical insurance. Before relying on a refund, check with your travel insurance or your health insurer at home.
Keep your invoice (you can download it from your DocTap account), proof of payment and any prescriptions. Your insurer decides, and reimbursement is not guaranteed.
