Medical Assistance Abroad

Are you about to travel or already staying abroad? Even there, you might end up in the hospital or need urgent medical care. Make sure to bring the right travel documents so you can rely on travel assistance and reimbursements through Helan, even beyond the country's borders.

What should I do before leaving for abroad?

Before you depart, request your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) through My Helan. This ensures you are covered if you need medical care in an EU country.

If you have doubts or questions about your travel destination, contact us. The rules and care vary by country. We will provide you with all the information you need.
