Reciprocal IKA Insurance for Health Care for EU CitizensElectronic Health Cards

The new electronic European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) has replaced form E111 for health insurance abroad for visitors and travellers within the EU. You can apply for a card online at www.forsakringskassan.se
When you need to see a doctor or dentist in Greece just go along to your local IKA office (The Social Insurance Foundation) with your EHIC card to make an appointment. You can see an IKA registered GP or specialist free of charge, and IKA prescriptions may be issued by them.
Officially the health card is only valid for short term visitors (maximum 3 months) and travellers who are normally resident in another EU country.

Pensioners

Pensioners who intend to take up residence in Greece and who are entitled to free medical treatment in Sweden or other EU country, also enjoy a similar entitlement in Greece. They should produce to their local IKA office form E121, which is issued by Försäkringskassan based on Gotland tel: 0498-200700, along with the required documents listed below, and they will be issued with an IKA health book.

Unemployed


A person coming to look for work in Greece, who was unemployed in Sweden. or other EU country, is entitled to free medical treatment in Greece if he/she produces to their local IKA office form E119. This is also issued by Försäkringskassan. In both the above cases IKA will exchange the form for a medical booklet. You will also need to take along the documents listed below.
Details on Umemployment Benefit for those who have worked and paid IKA contributions in Greece is found on IKA´s homepage.
Those moving permanently to live or work in Crete, who do not fit into any of the above categories, can transfer from the Swedish health system to the Greek system (eg. Form E106) BUT you usually have to pay into a state sickness insurance fund or a private healthcare scheme to be covered for healthcare in most other EEA countries. In Greece this means that when you transfer you will only be covered for the first year in Greece.

Documents required for IKA book under the reciprocal agreement (for form E121, E106 and E119)

- form E121 or E106 or E119
- photocopy of passport
- tax number for E121 and E119

Check at your local IKA office on arrival in Greece for updates.

You can make an appointment for any specialist doctor under the IKA scheme by phoning 184 the national appointments phone line . (If you are a non Greek speaker you may have difficulties - try and have a translator handy!).
You will not be required to pay for treatment. Prescriptions given under the IKA scheme may be taken to any chemist where you will be charged just 25% of the full cost.


Working And Paying National Insurance Contributions


Employees

If you are employed in Greece your employer should be making National Insurance contributions for you, usually IKA, although there are others such as 'TAXI' for hotel employees the information here is with regards to IKA as this is the most common.

IKA contributions are very expensive ( around 30% of your salary) and until the last couple of years many employers have tended to exploit foreign workers (Greeks also, but not to such an extent) by not offering IKA insurance . However there has been a huge clamp down on this by the authorities and most employers nowadays go by the book as they are not prepared to risk heavy fines.

Contributions should be made monthly by an employer. If you are employed full time you will have around 25 days 'stamps' per month. IKA will send you a statement every 3 months with your number of days IKA for the previous 3 month period.

A minimum of 50 days IKA payments are required to apply for an IKA health book , which entitles you to free medical care and reduced price prescriptions.

Once you have aquired 50 days 'stamps' you can obtain your IKA health book immediately by taking along your statements from IKA showing your contibutions (or a validation from your employer's accountant) together with 2 photos and your passport to the IKA office and one should be issued to you on the spot. The health book will be valid for one year and needs renewing yearly. You must have a minimum of 50 days IKA contributions in each year that you renew the health book.
