Michele Russell
“Highly recommend this service while travelling in Puglia, Italy. I booked a video appointment online and was presented with options to book the Dr of my choice within the hour! Within 1 hour I had spoken with the Doctor via video call, received the invoice and prescription for medication to be issued by the local pharmacy. Excellent service 10/10”
Lisa Barwell
“I had an amazing experience with Doctors in Italy. Navigating the healthcare system in a foreign country can be intimidating. With Doctors in Italy the experience was seamless and effective. Setting up the appointment was super easy, and we were able to interact with a doctor right away. The doctor was very competent and spoke perfect English. I highly recommend the service.”

Your questions answered
Unsure if it will work for you? Seems too good to be true? We get it!
Sometimes, getting started is the hardest part. Find out what it costs, how long it takes, and what to expect.
We’re here to help you be in control of your health while in Italy.
How does it work?
Complete the intake form and confirm your request through WhatsApp or text. You’ll quickly get different visit options. Pick the one you like and proceed to online payment. Video visits are browser-based, so no apps are needed. Click the link you’ll receive to start your video visit in your browser. After the consultation, expect the doctor to email the invoice and e-prescription. Show or print the prescription for medication purchase at the pharmacy of your choice.
How much does it cost?
The overall pricing will vary depending on the providers. Each of them competes on every request, bidding a fair price for your specific need. The average cost is 25 Euros for an online doctor visit. In-person appointments, specialists, and lab-work depend on the city. Send a request to find out, there’s no obligation to book and you get to choose your provider.
The visit does not include the cost of medications, but common antibiotics are very affordable in Italy. The cost of an antibiotic treatment ranges from 5 to 15 euros approximately.
Is this for Life threatening conditions?
No. This website does not function as an emergency response or monitoring service. If you are aware of a life threatening situation, believe someone may be in danger of harm or self-harm, or require immediate assistance, please dial “112” or contact the appropriate emergency responder. DoctorsinItaly is not obligated to monitor or respond to communications sent through this website.
Are doctors available on weekends
Yes, whenever you submit your request it is instantly received by the doctors active at that time. Whether it’s late at night, on a Sunday morning, or on New Year’s Eve, there’s always someone on the other side who’s ready to see you. When you receive an option for an appointment, there’s a person behind it (a doctor) who’s read your request and is willing to assist you.
Can I get antibiotics without seeing a doctor in-person?
Yes, antibiotics can be prescribed during a video consultation with a doctor. Antibiotics in Italy are not available over the counter and pharmacies do not have doctors on site. To buy antibiotics, you’ll need to carry a doctor’s prescription to a pharmacy. The cost of antibiotics can vary, typically ranging from 5 to 15 euros for common types.
Can I contact the doctor for follow-up questions after the consultation?
You can message your physician with follow-up questions at no additional cost for up to 7 days after the video visit.
How Doctors in Italy protect my health information?
Doctors in Italy complies with GDPR regulations. When you submit a request on Doctors in Italy, the content of the request is shared with all available doctors while keeping your data anonymized until you select a provider. Once you’ve chosen a doctor and booked with them, your provided information and contact details will only be shared with them. Doctors in Italy will never sell your personal information.
Can I use my insurance to pay for the visit?
The fees are so affordable that you won’t need to. If your insurance covers you while in Italy, the easiest way is to request the report and bill from your doctor and claim for a refund after your trip. Checking coverage, even in the best-case scenarios, can take hours, and sometimes days. This platform is designed to allow individuals to choose and pay an affordable price out-of-pocket, eliminating the need for insurance. You can still request a medical report or an itemized bill from the doctors to claim a refund if you wish to do so, or we can bill your insurance directly if it’s in the list.
Can I Receive a Controlled Medication Prescription via Video Consultation?
Most medications can be prescribed online. Restricted drugs such as mood altering medications and opioids cannot be prescribed online and require an in-person visit and a physical prescription. Additionally, not all doctors are authorized to prescribe such medications. When you describe what you need, clearly outline your requirements in the intake form to make sure you’re connected with the right doctors.
