You do not need separate health insurance, just good travel insurance that will cover health cost.

Yet another person who does not bother to say where he is from! I will have to guess you are not an American, as they do not need to apply for a visa to visit a Schengen country for a holiday. If you are from a reasonably advanced country, you should be able to buy 2 weeks travel insurance for Europe without any problems...

You should first check with your sick insurance company whether it complies with the Schengen requirements. It must cover at least €30,000.00 and include hospitalization and repatriation in case of severe sickness. It also must be valid within all 25 Schengen countries. If your insurance covers that have your insurance company provide a written statement thereof. The consular officers do not want to check pages of small printed terms and conditions to find out. Schengen travel insurance is offered by several companies. I have checked AXA since they are global players. They ask for €29 for the 16 day insurance. Before getting your insurance if required you should check the requirements on the webpage of the Embassy your plan to travel to; some countries require to have at least a 30 days insurance which would cost €46. Also the procedures of providing proof of insurance vary from country to country. Some embassies require the proof of insurance to be presented with the visa application; others just want to see it after you have been notified that your visa has been approved and may be picked up at the Embassy. http://www.axa-schengen.com/english/axa-assistance-price.html ..
