The Cross Border Directive (CBD) is a scheme to get planned healthcare in another European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) member state.

To apply for the CBD scheme in Ireland you must:

• be ordinarily resident in Ireland - living in Ireland and can prove you intend to live in Ireland for at least 1 year
• be entitled to public healthcare in Ireland
• qualify for the healthcare you want as a public patient in Ireland
• have a valid referral letter
• follow the CBD process

You must pay for any healthcare that you get abroad. But under the scheme you can apply to the HSE for reimbursement towards the cost of the healthcare.

The healthcare must be planned. You need a valid referral and you must qualify for the healthcare you want as a public patient in Ireland.
