Public ISBD [article]  inRevue belge de sécurité sociale > 01/2019 (2019) . - p. 65-79 Titre : Patient mobility in the EU - a playground for all of us ? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gabriella Berki Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 65-79 Langues : Français (fre) Résumé : n November 2010, the European Commission launched an extensive media campaign the slogan of which was “Europe is your playground”. One of the main messages of the Commission was that people can preserve their right to social security benefits when moving to a different Member State. This is clearly among the biggest achievements of the social security coordination legislation. However, when looking more closely at certain groups and certain situations, it becomes visible that the above-mentioned playground is more like an obstacle course – with booby traps, hidden or less hidden barriers to tackle. Mobile patients belong to one of these groups as well as receiving healthcare abroad constitutes one of these situations.Remarkably, during the recent Brexit negotiations, the questions of accessing healthcare both for citizens of the United Kingdom (UK) in the European Union (EU) and for EU citizens in the UK have received prominent attention. The media2 as well as scientific circles3 engaged in a lively discussion on the topic and sought feasible answers. This debate provided a vivid example for those who stigmatised cross-border healthcare and patient mobility to be marginal. It is true that the overall effect of cross-border patient movements on the healthcare budgets is not striking,4 but patient mobility is very important for certain pathologies (e.g. rare and complex diseases), for certain geographical areas (e.g. small countries, touristic areas) and for certain groups (e.g. highly mobile workers, mobile pensioners).
