Form E111 and Electronic Health Cards
You should obtain a new transitional E111 form for travel to Greece until the advent of the new electronic European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) in December 2005. The transitional forms can be obtained free of charge from your local office in your home country.
In Greece take the E111 form to the local IKA (The Social Insurance Foundation) office to have it exchanged for an IKA medical/health booklet. Note that in Greece the E111 is only valid for 1 year. With the advent of the EHIC card the system could change. Check at your local IKA office on arrival in Greece for the latest information.
Pensioners who intend to take up residence in Greece and who are entitled to free medical treatment in other EU countries also enjoy a similar entitlement in Greece. They should produce form E121 (which is issued by their local Department of Health Office) at the local IKA office.
