Hi HugoI saw your reply regarding "3000 Euros" per month to live in Italy.We are a couple from NYC about to retire, intending to live in Trapani, Sicily and will be applying for a retiree's longterm visa as soon as our dual social security starts. We think 3000 a month is way over a "living cheap"budget since rent is low but so far in our research medical insurance is looking like at least 500 euros a month. We could pay less if we just get "major medical" that doesn't include doctors visits or prescriptions but have no idea how much doctors visits and drugs cost so are hesitant to take it even if it fullfills the visa requirement and we have part a Medicare in the states regardless.If you have any suggestions to give us on what medical insurance is good, comprehensive and not that expensive I'd appreciate the information and also the general cost of a doctors visit and medications if you are not an EU citizen,so we have an idea of what medical insurance is necessary.Thanks for your input. We have been planning this in theory for years and now we want to make it a realityHolly McClean

Hi UgoWe are New Yorkers planning to retire ib Trapani, Sicily and will be pensioners when we apply for a long term visa. I appreciated and read alot of the info you posted., I agree that the vegans are way off on that estimate for a "poor lifestyle", we estimate less then that for a moderately extravagent one.We have been looking at a few mediacl ibsurance companies for the required amount of coverage and haven't seen anything that is in the 1600-1800 price range . What we found so far costa about 500 a month or us both and that only covers hospitalization, assuming thats emergency and required care.I have two questionsfor you since you seem to know about these things.What medical insurance companies do you recommend that are within or around the pricing you describe above and what does a doctor's visit cost, general practiioner and specialist. in Italy.Thanks again for your inputHolly McClean

ᾱin Italy everyone from EU can come without a problem, healthcare is free(at least when I go to the doctor I don't have to pay anything). Maybe I am wrong but never paid fo this, Just need to register for the cod. fiscale to be registered on the national care. Which region in Italy?maybe I can find a link helpful to you
Sometimes before talking, it
Submitted by Ugo on Fri, 05/26/2017 - 02:09Sometimes before talking, it's helpful to inquire, perhaps at any Municipality , for example The non-EU citizen must attach the documentation listed in Annex A. The citizen of the European Union must attach the documentation listed in Annex B.Annex B > Step 2 - paragraph 3A copy of a health insurance covering health risks in the national territory, valid for aAt least one year, or a copy of one of the following forms issued by the State of origin: E106, E120, E1 21 (or E 33), E109 (or E 37); * T. T.E.A.M. (European Health Insurance Card) can be used by whom He does not intend to transfer his residence to Italy and he / she feels the enrollment in the population register And temporary.
Ah yes we do have an E111

Steve , No, healtcare price , depends on the age - the more you are - mature :) - the more it costs - the means of livellihood are legal by law, they must be higher than the minimum wage in italy, which is about 600 euros per month - Assistance is free Only for tourists coming from the EU, and usually for urgent interventions, never for long illness -

JohnnyM - as an EU citizen emergency healthcare is free - ie A&E, but you cannot have a family doctor or normal healthcare without paying into the system in some way - private health insurance, job contract etc. as Ugo says. Your codice fiscale has nothing to do with healthcare, your right to healthcare depends on your residency and payments into the system.

That is the very reason it is always better to start off your own post as the OP is from the EU and as you quite rightly say in a total different ball game to you. There are many an answer to how much is private health care in Italy on the web, on this forum and others. However at the end of the day it will be the comune you apply for residency that will decide if any such policy is acceptable to them, although some might not even ask for such!

You shouldbe able to get assicurazione volontaria from the local Asl - which will be cheaper than private health insurance. You need to visit the ASL (health service) get them to work out how much it would be, pay it at the post office and then take the paperwork to the comune when you ask for residency.

thanks modicasaWe are first applying for National Visa for retired people st the Consulate in NYC where we will have to show them we have a lease for an apartment for 1 year and private medical insurance. So what weneed to know for our first full year in Italy is what is the best private health insurance we can purchase as expats. We also need to show for the permesso di giorno.A few years down the road we hope to obtain permanent residency. But for now we can only obtain private insurance according to rules.Can you recommend any companies that sell good insurance to expats.Thankshollyssg

OK - I must say Ive never heard of a a visa for retired people. I would have thought you would need a Schengen visa and then residency, so presume this visa is asort of elective residency visa. However what you are doing is just for the visa, not for residency in the comune of trapani, so you will have to do that when you arrive. What is important for your health insurance is that the documentation is available in - you will need that at the Trapani end. It might depend on your creditcard providers - Amex has something that might be suitable, otherwise for your first year - to fulfil the NY end of what you are trying to do, it's going to cost you alot. I presume the consulate is unhelpful and wont/cant give you a list of approved insurers?
