I studied Dutch law, so I'm well aware of all kinds of 'freedoms' we have here in Europe and the (basic) rules around them. I'm more interested in the day to day shenanigans of these things, how do they work in practice. What kind of little annoying problems does one bump into when going to a doctor here or there, for example.

The healthcare system in the country that provided the service will bill directly to the healthcare system where the patient has the citizenship. In some cases tourists are required to pay a small fee for minor interventions or treatments, and the major ones are covered. In a third group the patient will be billed in advance and then can pass the bill to his/her own healthcare system to recover the money.
