The healthcare system for foreigners
Coverage of your healthcare costs in Italy depends on your nationality, your situation and the length of your stay.
- If you are a European citizen living in Italy for less than a year: you can apply for the EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) before you leave. You’ll be reimbursed on the same terms as local residents. Be careful, however, as the ceilings are only adapted to public-sector rates. Italy’s national healthcare system is quite disparate from one region to another. In fact, the hospitals in the north, reputed to be of the highest quality, are overwhelmed. What’s more, laboratory tests, prostheses and consultations with a large number of specialists are only partially covered. So you need health insurance, whether you’re just passing through or planning to stay longer.
- If you are seconded to Italy by your employer, you will continue to be covered by the social security system in your home country. However, you will need supplementary health insurance to be adequately covered.
- You are an expatriate: In this case, if you wish, you can benefit from the same rights as Italians. To do so, you need a residence permit. Next, you’ll need to register with the local health authority (Azienda Sanità Locale), presenting certain supporting documents. You’ll need a valid identity document, your ” Codice Fiscale “, a letter from your employer and your residence permit.
It is therefore advisable to take out an international health insurance policy from the 1st euro, which allows you to benefit from full coverage of your healthcare costs, and to freely choose your healthcare establishment.
Do I need health insurance in Italy?
Whether you’re simply a traveller or an expatriate in Italy, we strongly advise you to take out private insurance. Even if the public health system is generally competent, you’ll have to wait a long time for treatment. So it’s much more practical to turn to private medicine. However, fees easily exceed the reimbursement ceilings set by the social security system.
