Form S2
The S2 form certifies authorization for planned medical treatment in another country within the framework of European social security coordination. It corresponds to a different procedure than that used for necessary treatment during a temporary stay.
Check the authorization conditions before treatment and the coverage terms in the concerned country. The S2 should not be confused with the A1 certificate, which concerns applicable social legislation, nor with the S1 related to the country of residence.
