Artikel 5
Europese Overeenkomst betreffende de verlening van medische hulp aan personen die tijdelijk in het buitenland verblijven
1. In order to receive the medical care provided for in Article 4, paragraph 1, the person concerned shall submit proof of his entitlement to medical care under the legislation of a Contracting Party other than the one in whose territory he is present.
2. The proof referred to in paragraph 1 is given by means of a certificate delivered by the competent institution on a form agreed by the competent authorities of the Contracting Parties.
3. Where the person concerned is entitled to medical care under the legislation of a Contracting Party which guarantees such entitlement to all nationals or all residents of that Party, the person concerned may be permitted to submit, instead of the certificate referred to in paragraph 2, his passport or another identity document recognised as equivalent if the competent authorities of the Contracting Parties concerned have so decided by mutual agreement.
4. In cases of absolute urgency medical care shall not be withheld from the person concerned on the ground that he cannot submit at the appropriate time the certificate referred to in paragraph 2 or one of the documents referred to in paragraph 3. However, in such case, the institution of the place of temporary residence shall ask the competent institution to determine whether the person concerned is entitled to benefit from the provisions of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 2, the Contracting Parties which have agreed to apply the provisions of subparagraph (b) or subparagraph (c) of paragraph 1 of Article 6 may resolve, through mutual agreement, difficulties arising from the application of the preceding sentence of this paragraph.
5. If the life or health of a person needing medical care are seriously in danger, or the person hospitalised is under 18 and away from his family, it would be desirable, in the interest of the person concerned, that the consular authority of the Contracting Party in whose territory that person is resident should be informed.
