Documentation required

Form E111 and your passport.

Where to Get Information

The Sickness Insurance Fund for Manual Workers (Caisse de maladie des ouvriers), 125 Route d'Esch, L-1471 Luxembourg Ville; or its local offices.

Doctors, Dentists & Prescriptions

Consult any doctor and produce your E111. You must pay for treatment and prescribed medicines. Get a receipt for everything.

You'll be able to get a refund, although not necessarily for the full amount, by applying to the local Sickness Fund Office.

Hospital Treatment

If a doctor thinks you need hospital treatment, you'll be issued with a certificate which you should give to the hospital authorities, together with your E111 - if you've not already given it to the Sickness Fund Office.

Treatment is normally free but you must pay a daily charge, which isn't refunded.

If you can't see a doctor before being admitted, show your E111 to the hospital authorities and ask them to contact the Sickness Fund for you.
