The BBC says:

The latest joint EU/UK document on the Brexit talks says that citizens who live in another EU country on the day the UK leaves will be still be eligible for the same healthcare as citizens and will still be able to use the EHIC scheme when visiting another EU country.

 

This includes citizens who work or study in another country or are retired there.

 

The agreement has not been reached on whether EHIC would be available to those who travel to, or go to live in, another EU country after the UK has left the bloc.

Just a word of caution though. Never rely on just EHIC, always have adequate travel insurance on top.
