Payment of the insurance

Being a non EU/EEA citizen, in order to apply for the Permit of stay and to obtain a basic health assistance, you have to underwrite either a private insurance or to register and pay for the National Health System (either you choose gets reimbursed by SISSA). SISSA suggests and supports you with the second option.

Register with the Italian SSN

If you choose to be enrolled in the National (Regional) Health Care system (SSN), it will cost 700 euros per calendar year to have a full health coverage. (Note that it means that the registration expires on December 31st of each year). The amount of the health insurance changed from 150€ to 700€ January, 1st, 2024. The health insurance partially cover your health expenses and you have the possibility to have your "base" doctor whom you can visit for free and prescribe medicines/exams. Some medicines and all exams are subject to payment (maximum for exams is 36,15 Euros).
