I am a pensioner living in another EU country. Which country is responsible for my healthcare?

The country which deals with your healthcare is the country which pays your pension. If you receive a pension from more than one country and one of them is the country where you live, this country will be responsible for your healthcare coverage, and that of your family members.

If you do not receive a pension or any other income from the country where you live, you and your family will receive medical treatment there if you would be entitled to medical treatment in the country that pays your pension.
