Abstract

In two recent rulings, the Court of Justice of the European Union has addressed the scope of the patient’s right to reimbursement of medical expenses in cases of healthcare. The content and scope of these judicial rulings are analyzed, as well as the adjustment of the Spanish regulation to this jurisprudence and the reality of cross-border healthcare carried out within the framework of Dir. 2011/24/EU is contextualized with some data.
