<p>During negotiations and as part of a reciprocal deal, we are looking to protect
the healthcare rights of both UK-insured individuals who are living in the EU and
of EU-insured individuals who are living in the UK before the specified date.</p><p>The
UK will seek to protect the reciprocal healthcare arrangements which enable UK residents
to obtain a European Health Insurance Card, allowing them to benefit from free, or
reduced cost, needs-arising healthcare while on a temporary stay in the EU.</p><p>The
UK is also seeking to protect EU healthcare arrangements that enable those who have
moved to the EU and continue to receive a UK benefit or draw a UK state pension to
receive healthcare cover by the UK in their country of residence.</p><p>We will also
seek to protect EU citizens’ eligibility for NHS funded healthcare in the UK and vice
versa for UK nationals in the EU. Those who present valid documentation receive treatment
on the NHS, the cost of which is reimbursed to the UK by the member state which provides
the individual’s insurance.</p><p> </p>
