EU and non-EU citizens from contracted countries can obtain necessary services in a direct form (health care), free of charge except for the payment of a possible co-payment, at public and private facilities contracted with the National Health Service. Non-EU citizens from non-conventional countries are assured health care services for which the relevant fees must be paid.

Non-EU citizens from non-affiliated countries are insured for the health services for which the relative rates must be paid. Italian citizens, registered AIRE (Italian Register of Residents Abroad), having the status of emigrant and / or pension holders paid by Italian social security institutions, who temporarily return to Italy and do not have insurance coverage, public or private, are recognized, for free, urgent hospital services and for a maximum period of 90 days for each calendar year.
