A frontier worker who has retired because of old-age or invalidity is entitled in the event of sickness to continue to receive benefits in kind in the Member State where he/she last pursued his/her activity as an employed or self-employed person, in so far as this is a continuation of treatment which began in that Member State. ‘Continuation of treatment’ means the continued investigation, diagnosis and treatment of an illness for its entire duration.
The first subparagraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to the members of the family of the former frontier worker unless the Member State where the frontier worker last pursued his/her activity is listed in Annex III.
