Health care for foreign students

In Italy the health care of foreigners is regulated by international conventions. International students are guaranteed health care cover in two different ways, depending on their EU citizenship.

EU Students

Students from the European Community and temporarily in Italy for study can benefit from health care in Italy. Students before departure must ask the competent health authority of the national country of residence the TEAM card (Tessera Europea di Assistenza Malattia) or the Certificate Replacement of the card.

The TEAM or the Certificate of Substitute TEAM allows first-aid and medi-care necessary for the period of stay in our territory.

With this document students have direct access to all the structures of the National Health System (general practitioners, primary care physician, emergency room, hospitalization etc.) For the services mentioned above and for the entire period of the course.

If you do not possess these documents, expenses are charged on students.

Students from non-EU countries

To benefit from health services, non-EU students must underwrite insurance cover against the risk of illness, injury and maternity either by:

  • underwriting an insurance policy with an Italian or foreign insurance company, valid in Italy
  • by voluntary registering in the National Health Service: Service extends to family members (Art. 34, para. 3, Decree 07/25/98)

To register for the National Health Service there is a fee, as co-payment: an annual contribution on total income earned in the previous year in Italy and / or abroad.

The contribution for voluntary registration is valid for a calendar year from January 1 to December 31, it cannot be split and has no retroactive effect. For students with no income other than grants or subsidies received by Italian public instituions contribution totals to flat rate of € 149,77.

The payment of the contribution must be made by money order c / c order payable to the Region of Umbria.
