You may be able to claim a reimbursement of your IHS if you moved to the UK on or after 1 January 2021 and have an S1 form issued by either:
- a European Union (UC) country
- Switzerland
- Norway
- Iceland
- Liechtenstein
You can also apply for a reimbursement for any dependants named on your S1 form if you paid for their IHS. If the dependant paid for their own IHS, they must apply for a reimbursement separately.
Your S1 form must be registered with Overseas Healthcare Services to be valid. If you've not registered your S1 form, email ohsfaregistrations@nhsbsa.nhs.uk.
To apply for a reimbursement, contact our helpdesk.
If your S1 form is valid for the full length of your visa, you'll receive a full reimbursement. You'll receive a partial reimbursement if your S1 form is only valid for part of your stay in the UK.
You may be able to claim a reimbursement of your IHS if you’re:
- working in Health and Social Care - you can apply for a reimbursement online
- in full-time higher education in the UK
To claim due to being in full-time higher education in the UK or if you need any further help, contact the IHS helpdesk by telephone on 0300 330 7693 or by email at ihsreimbursements@nhsbsa.nhs.uk.
If you think you may be eligible for any other reason, contact UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI).
