Why accessing the Italian health system is a bureaucratic maze

To get medical coverage in Italy, you must navigate the ASL (Azienda Sanitaria Locale).

Between understanding which specific forms you need and providing the correct proof of residency or employment, the process is far from simple.

If you miss a single document, you leave the office without coverage, leaving you and your family vulnerable until the next available appointment.

The struggle of choosing a doctor without local insights

Once registered, you are handed a list of names with no context.

Choosing your “Medico di Base” (Primary Care Physician) is a critical decision, yet lists are often outdated or don’t specify who speaks your language.

Trying to find a doctor in your area of Abruzzo who understands your needs shouldn’t be a game of chance in a foreign language.

We feel very fortunate to have found Viviana and Sergio. From our very first contact, they were warm, responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely interested in understanding what we were looking for. Because we are still in the U.S., we hired them to tour homes on our behalf, and they made the experience feel incredibly personal. They listened carefully to our priorities, noticed details that mattered to us, asked thoughtful questions, and shared honest impressions that helped us feel much more confident evaluating properties from thousands of miles away. What really stood out was the combination of professionalism and genuine kindness. We never felt like just another client. They took the time to understand our plans and made us feel that they truly cared about helping us find the right home and make a successful move to Italy. We are very grateful for their help and look forward to working with Viviana and Sergio again as we continue planning our relocation from the U.S. to Italy. We would recommend them without hesitation.

"Absolutely amazing relocation support — couldn't have done this without her!" Viviana was instrumental in our move from the US to Abruzzo, Italy. She handled everything with professionalism and care — from securing and registering our lease, chasing down every document and payment, to keeping us organized through the entire process. She was responsive, patient, and always one step ahead, catching details we would have missed. Moving internationally is stressful, but Viviana made it feel effortless so far. If you're relocating to Italy, do yourself a favor and work with her — you will not regret it. Five stars isn't enough!

Wanderlust Abruzzen hat uns von Anfang an begleitet und wir waren sehr froh über so viele wichtige Tipps schon beim ersten Videocall. Wir sind noch im Suchprozess und brauchen die Hilfe von Wanderlust des Öfteren. Viviana antwortet sehr schnell und hat immer wieder Tipps und Hilfestellungen die einem das ganze erleichtern. Aber gleichzeitig spricht sie auch absolut die negativen Aspekte an, falsche Gedanken oder auch Leichtgläubigkeit. Wir haben uns vor Ort mit ihr getroffen und sie ist ein wirklich herzlicher Mensch. Wir werden die Hilfe von Wanderlust Abruzzo sicher noch des Öfteren in Anspruch nehmen. Müssen und auch wollen, da sie unser vollstes Vertrauen haben. Vielen Dank für die professionelle aber auch wirklich herzliche Zusammenarbeit. Wir sind froh das es euch gibt und ihr das hier von Herzen macht. Es nimmt uns viele Sorgen ab und erleichtert gaaaaaaaaanz viele verschiedene Dinge. Grazie Mille

Ich folge Wanderlust Abruzzo seit dem ersten Tag an. Lebe selbst in Italien und finde es toll was Viviana in Ihrem Forum schreibt. Man erkennt deutlich die Liebe zu Italien. Trotzdem schreibt Sie auch über die Probleme und Hindernisse die hier zu bewältigen sind. Dank Ihr kann man sich ein genaues Bild machen und Sie hilft einen, wo man selbst nicht weiterkommt. Ich wünschte ich hätte Sie am Anfang an meiner Seite gehabt. Liebe Viviana mach weiter so, viele können von Wanderlust Abruzzo profitieren!

Your Questions, Answered

Moving abroad comes with a lot of uncertainty, and we are here to make things clearer. Here are some of the most common questions about how and where we can support you.

The ASL (Azienda Sanitaria Locale) is the regional health authority in Italy. Registering with them is mandatory to access the public healthcare system, obtain a health card, and choose a primary care doctor.

Our service provides full bilingual support for German or English-speaking expats. We accompany you to the office or help you prepare the forms in Italian, ensuring the language barrier doesn’t prevent you from getting medical coverage.

We provide you with a list of potential available doctors in your area of Abruzzo. While we provide the data and insights, the final selection of your “Medico di Base” remains your personal choice.

Generally, yes. Registration with the health system usually requires a pending or completed residency application. We help you understand the specific requirements for your situation.

Yes. As soon as you register at the ASL, you receive a paper version of your Tessera Sanitaria. This is legally valid for seeing a doctor or getting prescriptions while you wait for the physical card.

The package covers the primary applicant’s registration. We can provide additional hourly assistance to help register family members and ensure everyone is properly covered.
