1. In response to the EU draft Directive on Cross border Health Care, the UK Department of Health is now holding a Consultation on the views of interested UK bodies and citizens, closing on December 3rd 2008
2. The draft Directive is due to be discussed by the EU at the EU Council of Health Ministers on 15th and 16th December 2008.
3. Once ratified and adopted by the UK Government, this will allow UK Citizens to travel to our clinic for Dental Care. It is estimated currently that over 20000 UK citizens already travel abroad for dental treatment annually.
4. For information on the Consultation, and how to take part, please go to the UK Department of Health website.
The system, governed by a new European Directive, could mean patients who can access only a private dentist on their doorstep would save money by travelling to Piestany spa for dental work and then turning to the NHS for reimbursement.
Dental patients who face a particularly long wait for treatment and low levels of expertise and high costs in the UK will benefit immensly from using our dental practice the EU directive for having treatment abroad.
Already a huge increase in the number of people interested in having their dental procedure abroad has been seen by us of the past 4 years of our clinics existence.
Over 500 British patients visit us each year for dental treatment. However very few so far have seeked reimbursement from the NHS possibly because the vast majority want procedures which would never be free at home, such as cosmetic dentistry like ceramic crowns, white fillings, veneers and dental implants.
A draft directive has already been published by the European Commission this summer.
The current proposals state that patients could seek a refund only for dental treatment which is offered in their home country, so people would not obtain dental implants which are not available on the NHS by going abroad. In addition, the British Government would not be expected to pay out any more than the procedure would have cost the NHS to perform.
Health boards could also require dental patients to seek their permission before accessing treatment in our dental clinic.
The British Medical Association is in favour of giving dental patients more power to access dental care with dental clinics like ours. To help the process to become easier for our current UK dental clients we provide all dental medical notes in English and provide each patient with a USB key containg all their dental information, photographs, and OPG x-rays.
I'll keep you up to date here on the latest news about the European Directive for NHS dental patients seeking their treatment abroad.
