"My mother-in-law was hospitalised for rehabilitation after a stroke. Thanks to the excellent work of Siskos Alexios, she improved tremendously and was able to return to her daily life."

Questions Irish Families Ask

The questions that come up before the first call.

Answers based on HSE Cross-Border Directive rules and Evexia Plus clinical practice.

More questions, answered in full
01. Who can use the EU Cross-Border Directive from Ireland?

Anyone ordinarily resident in Ireland who is entitled to public healthcare can apply. No medical card is needed, and holding private health insurance does not exclude you. The claim is made in the patient's name.

02. Do we need a referral, and from whom?

Yes, before treatment begins, though not before you call us. The HSE accepts a referral from a GP or from a hospital consultant who sees the patient as a public patient. A private-only referral cannot support a claim, and the letter needs a handwritten signature. If the referral is not in place yet, we will explain exactly what to ask your GP for.

03. How does reimbursement work, and how long does it take?

You pay Evexia Plus directly on discharge, then apply to the HSE for repayment with the application form, itemised invoice, receipts and discharge documents, which we prepare with you. The HSE repays the lesser of what you paid or the cost of the same treatment in the Irish public system, and aims to do so within 30 working days of receiving complete documents. Allow longer in practice, and read the How It Works page for the financing options families use to bridge the gap.

04. How quickly can my family member be admitted?

Usually within weeks. There is no waiting list; admission is arranged as soon as our Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Physician has reviewed the medical records. Our Irish team can typically indicate a likely admission date on the first call.

05. Will the clinical team speak English?

Yes, all of them. That includes the consultants who lead each case, the nurses on every shift and the full therapy team. Many staff also speak French, German and other European languages.

06. Can family stay with the patient?

Yes. One family member stays free of charge, in the patient's room or in nearby accommodation we arrange. Additional relatives can stay in seaside hotels in Kallikratia, five minutes away, at their own cost, and a free shuttle bus runs to Thessaloniki.

07. How do we know the hospital is safe?

Check us independently. Evexia Plus is ISO 15224 certified for healthcare quality, runs 24-hour medical and nursing cover with on-site diagnostics, and has university hospitals 30 minutes away by ambulance for acute emergencies. Then read the 2,300+ public Google reviews, take the video tour, and ask the HSE National Contact Point about us before you commit to anything.

Most families start with one phone call.

Tell us about your family member. Our Irish team explains the EU Cross-Border Directive, confirms whether Evexia fits, and outlines next steps. No referral or paperwork needed for the first call.
