Health Insurance

12/08/2008 -

As Bulgaria joined the EU, the Italian public local assistance makes provision for the necessary medical treatments for any Italian citizen staying temporarily in Bulgaria – for studying, tourism, affairs or working - and having the TEAM – European Card for Disease Insurance. The TEAM card takes the place of the former E110, E111, E119 and E128 forms, and is distributed by the Ministry of Economy and Finance. Those who have not received it yet, may ask their own ASL for the ‘temporary equivalent certificate’.  
For more information you can ask your ASL or visit the thematic areas ‘salute e cittadino’ (health and citizens) and ‘ assistenza italiani all’estero e stranieri in Italia’ (assistance for Italians abroad and strangers in Italy) of the Ministry of Health website: www.ministerosalute.it.  
Anyway, you are advised, before leaving for the journey, to draw up a health insurance that provides for the repatriation by plane or the transfer in another country, as well as the cover of the insurance expenses.
