<p>Citizens of a European Union country, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Switzerland
and their family members who were lawfully residing in the United Kingdom by 31 December
2020 will keep their right to healthcare on the same basis as UK residents, as long
as they meet the ordinary residence test. From 1 July 2021, they must have been granted
settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS). These rights
will be subject to any future domestic policy changes which apply to UK nationals.</p><p>An
individual that has made an application to the EUSS will be considered non-chargeable
from the date of their application until an outcome is determined by the Home Office.
An individual who is eligible to apply to the EUSS but who has not submitted an application
by 30 June 2021 will be chargeable. If they receive and pay for relevant services
and then later make a late application which is granted, they will not be refunded
for the earlier treatment.</p>
