Overseas Benefits
Members of the CompanyCare Premium scheme are entitled to emergency overseas cover. If you have an accident and need inpatient treatment while abroad you will be covered for emergency local treatment up to the value of €100,000 per episode. Repatriation to Ireland or the nearest medically appropriate country is also covered if treatment is not available in the country that you are travelling in.
QUINN-healthcare members receive an emergency overseas 24-hour assistance number. This number must be contacted prior to any emergency treatment.
This overseas cover provides a certain level of cover for emergency treatment that may be required while overseas temporarily and therefore is not a substitute for travel insurance.
Also, as an Irish resident you are entitled to get healthcare through the public system in countries of the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland if you become ill or injured while on a temporary stay there.
Until now, you needed an E form (such as the E111 or the E128) to get such treatment. Now, these paper forms are being replaced by the European Health Insurance Card. One card is needed for each individual or member of the family.
