      This is a bank’s loyalty program for private preventive care. Public coverage works all over the EU but yes, you do need to present the insurance card so they know how to bill you for any procedure.

          Urgent cases are treated differently. They won’t let you die, you’ll just present the card later (however, paramedics will try to find your identity with this card or another document on your body so they can check the database for your medical history, allergies etc. to avoid high-risk procedures) and there are no medical bankruptcies even among those who lack coverage.
