Sažetak
Health services are one of the most important services in the field of free movement at European Market guaranteed by the Treaty on Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Health services make the great part of market weather as an economic or non-economic activity. Health policy is directly in hands of national authority and European rules on internal market intervene only in the case that the health service is within the economic activities. The main instrument of the harmonization in this area is a Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the application of patientsʼ rights in cross-border healthcare which deals with healthcare services weather they are provided within the private or public healthcare institution. This Proposal is a result of a huge number of cases in the area of free movement of patients and their right to get a healthcare service cross the border. Directive also deals with e-health services provided via Internet. Authors will show recent judgments of the ECJ and their influence to the Proposal of the Directive. The accent will especially be given at newest judgments dealing with patients from “new” Member Countries that seek medical help in “old” Member States and influence of these judgments into the national social security system as are the recent judgment in the case Watts, Hartlauer, Stamatelaki and Elchinov. These judgments show approach to the healthcare and free movement of patients as their right to get medical treatment anywhere in the EU.
