Should I Have Told Them
 

I called in the bank last week to get a balance on sons active savings account and the girl told me that his account was an old one and there was better ones now that paid more interest ( although not a lot ).

Anyway she sent me round to see the advisor who asked me lots of details like was he a british taxpayer, I told her no because he works in the States, now will this cange anything next time he's home.

For instance if he needs to go to A@E ( hopefully not ) will he have to pay now.

Are you in the UK?

If your son is living and working in the US he is not entitled to have NHS treatment; the exception is for emergency treatment.

Thanks for the reply Englishman :)

My son is living in the States now and working there so you have answered my question, he will just have to keep healthy when he visits, fingers crossed.

Yes I am in the UK.:)

Hopefully if he has more than $10K in accounts outside the US he is reporting it each year.

Travel insurance - or check his US health insurance to see whether it includes foreign cover.

Yes he is covered by his insurance thank god, so no worries now.

Thanks for mentioning that I didn't think to ask him.:)
