What happens if my kid gets sick?Children up to the age of 18 are automatically covered by their parent's health insurance. After receiving the temporary protection the parents will receive a health insurance which provides access free public healthcare. Most Austrian hospitals have pediatric wards where you can get treatment by a specialist for your child without a referral. You can simply book an appointment and take your Insurance Card (EHIC) and bring your child with you. In case of emergency, you can take your child to the emergency department of the nearest hospital. The hospital will provide treatment even if you are not covered by insurance.
