Make sure you have taken out your health insurance. If you live in Europe, make sure you get an E111 or E128 forms before coming to Italy, and don’t forget to bring them with you!

These forms are the required documents for medical assistance and are issued by the official body for healthcare in your country. In Italy, E111 or 128 application forms are available at the ASL offices.

To prove you are covered in your own country, Form E 111 must be carried. You are then entitled to urgent treatment for accident or unexpected illness. This only covers temporary stays with a maximum of 1 year (or, exceptionally, 2 years if on secondment).

The medical insurance you have in your country is always recognised by the Italian authorities, but, before coming to Italy you will have to contact your own authority regarding your insurance:

If you have a public insurance:
Ask the institution that runs your insurance to issue the E111 MODEL, with this paper your insurance will be automatically extended to Italy.

If you have a private insurance:
The Italian authorities recognise private insurance papers only if they are officially translated in Italian by an Italian Consulate. Therefore ask your insurance company for a paper that states that you are also insured for Italy and send it to the nearest Italian Consulate asking for an official translation of the document.

Any treatment, in private hospitals, dental work and secondary examinations, is not covered and therefore it is very important for all non-Italian citizens to be covered by a private or public health insurance before arriving in Italy.
