Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the Cross-Border Healthcare Directive, insured patients are entitled to have costs of cross-border health care service reimbursed if the health care service in question is among the benefits to which they are entitled in their Member State of affiliation. The HSE endeavours to reimburse the cost of treatment incurred or the cost of providing such health care in the State, which ever is the lesser, to the applicant within 30 days of receipt of a claim for reimbursement, in line with Prompt Payment Legislation.
