Health care assistance is available to all European citizens (belonging to EU Member States and EEA States) who have the EHIC/TEAM card (European Health Insurance Card) or who enroll in the Italian National Health Service.
If you have the EHIC/TEAM card, you can go directly to any family doctor, during outpatient time, and have the right to any services needed, on a case by case basis (therefore, you cannot choose your own doctor).
For a list of doctors and outpatient schedules, it is possible to visit the page Ricerca medici ("Search for doctors").
Students must bring their health card and a photocopy of the card (by doing so, the doctor will not need to request payment for the visit).
Those who want to sign up to the Italian National Health service will have to ask the health insurance scheme of their country to issue the certificate E106 or E109 or S1 and present it at the counter of the Health District on Via Garibaldi 198.
If you have the requested forms and the tax code (issued at the "Agenzia delle Entrate"), the registration is free and you have the right to choose your own family doctor and take advantage of basic services.
