I'm going to the USA with you soon.

A friend has told me I need to take my EHIC card, but I thought that was only needed for EEC destinations. Please clarify.

At one level it doesn't matter as I already have it, but it's just one more thing to potentially lose ;)

The EHIC is only useful in European countries, so will not be needed in the USA. If you have a connecting flight to a country in Europe, you may want to consider it, but otherwise I would advise against bringing it with you.

Kindest regards,

Is your friend confusing the EHIC with the Esta which you will require for America? Making sure that your medical insurance is also high-it is not cheap in an American hospital :s

Have a great holiday,

A lady on a JY tour I did ended up in a cast and the hospital needed a debit card ..

I thought I didn't need it, yes possibly she confused it with ESTA which JY have arranged for me.

Extended my travel cover to worldwide, and warned credit and debit card people, so hopefully all set!
