Hi Roseanne.
The new system is just like the old. You only need to produce the card if and when you need medical treatment. No need to register it any where else.
As a reminder the EHIC card is to get reciprocal treatment in another European country, ie, like the NHS, going to your GP, minor A&E as you would at home.
Travel Insurance is for major items on the medical side, such as paying for hospitalisation, geting medivac back to the UK, etc etc.
If one did not have the EHIC, you will have to pay, and then claim back off your insurance a later date.
Yammas, Chris.

he came down with a terrible virus and it was only that my step-mum was a nurse and could inject him that he was not hospitalised. They were on honeymoon so that was a bit of a disaster and he was very ill for more than 6 months, it was very worrying. However the doctor who came out to the A&A was lovely, really helpful and thorough and visited a few times to make sure he was on the mend. He wasn't interested in seeing E111 or insurance details either, as Paul says its probably too much hassle with the paperwork.
