Type: Judgment

Authority: European Authorities: Euopean Union' Court of Justice

Date: 09/23/2020

Subject: According to the Court, the principle of the freedom to provide services and the directive 2011/24/EU on cross-border health care preclude national legislation which excludes the reimbursement without prior authorisation of the costs connected to emergency surgery undergone by an insured person, who is a resident of a Member State, in another Member State. Such restriction on the principle of the freedom to provide services is disproportionate and fails to have regard to the directive
