Make sure the invoice includes your details, diagnosis, and a list of costs per treatment. For example, a bill for €100 should break down the performed services.
Sick notes
If you become sick while abroad and can’t work, a sick note from a doctor abroad is valid. It must specify:
That you are unable to work due to illness/injury
The expected duration you’ll be unable to work
If you’re employed, submit your sick note and your current location to your employer within 3 days after you become unable to work. A statement from your private health provider is not needed.
