How it works

A clear path, managed for you — start to finish

You never navigate a foreign healthcare system alone. ItalyCare manages every step, under the clinical supervision of an experienced Italian university physician. And in Tuscany, if you choose it, a dedicated concierge stays with you through every phase — from the moment you land to the day you fly home.

1

Visit in the U.S.

You see a U.S.-licensed physician — your own doctor or one from our network — and gather your records, tests and imaging.

2

Case review in Italy

Our clinical director reviews your complete file with the clinic in Tuscany and defines your personalized care plan.

3

A clear quote

Medical care at the facility's own price, with no mark-up. The services — flight, stay, support — you choose one by one, and that price is firm. All in writing, no surprises.

4

Treatment in Tuscany

You are welcomed in person, treated in an accredited private clinic, and followed daily by your ItalyCare coordinator.

5

Recovery & return

Convalescence in Tuscany, then home with a full English medical report for your U.S. physician — plus remote follow-up.

6

Your concierge

One person, always the same one, with you from arrival to departure: transfers, appointments, an interpreter at your visits, restaurants and rest. How much they do is up to you — right up to being reachable twenty-four hours a day.

Dental Excellence · Tuscany

Your new smile, made in Tuscany — with Dental Clinique

For dental care, ItalyCare works with Dental Clinique — a family-owned Tuscan dental group, headquartered in the heart of Pisa with clinics across Tuscany: over 50 dentists and specialists, graduates of Italy's leading universities. Advanced technique, and a professionalism patients rate among the best.

  • Computer-guided implantology — your implant is planned digitally on a 3D CT scan (Dentalscan) before anyone touches your mouth: precise, predictable, minimally invasive.
  • Immediate-load implants & All-on-4 — in selected cases, fixed teeth in days, not months. A full-arch restoration costs 50–70% less than in the U.S.
  • Piezoelectric surgery & laser dentistry — gentler techniques, less swelling, faster recovery: ideal when your stay in Italy is measured in days.
  • Complete care under one roof — from invisible orthodontics to veneers and cosmetic dentistry, with the same team from first scan to final smile. And you choose your dentist: the specialists' faces and credentials are published for every clinic.
  • Your path — dental visit and X-rays in the U.S., case planned in Italy, treatment at whichever clinic in the group suits you best, while your family enjoys Tuscany.

Why you can trust Italian care

Safety and protection, built into Italian law

Accredited private clinics

We work with a small number of selected, officially accredited private clinics across Tuscany — chosen and visited personally by our clinical director. We never operate from an anonymous catalog.

Mandatory malpractice insurance

Italian law (Gelli-Bianco, L. 24/2017) requires every clinic and physician to carry malpractice insurance — and since 2024, patients can claim directly against the insurer. These protections fully apply to international patients.

Physician-led, not sales-led

Every case is reviewed and supervised by our clinical director, a university cardiologist and surgeon. If a treatment isn't right for you, we tell you.

Total fee transparency

You always know what you pay, what the clinic charges, and how ItalyCare is compensated. Written, fixed quotes — before you commit to anything.

Comfort-first pain care

No one should endure avoidable pain. Dedicated pain-therapy centers follow every patient, with protocols that avoid opioids and dependence-forming medications whenever clinically possible.

“We heal the body and nourish the soul — with art and the world's finest cuisine”

Medicine among the world's finest — amid the hills, the art and the flavors of Tuscany: from Piazza dei Miracoli to the walls of Lucca, from the Tuscan table to the thermal springs.

“Too often, healthcare treats you as a customer on a balance sheet.
In Italy, you are a person — and we care for you with professionalism and passion.”
