Italy: I went to the CUP of my USL (national health care generic desk) and told the helpful lady that I wanted to go to Bosnia-Herzegovina. She asked me about travel dates and a couple other routine questions and produced, signed and stamped a bilingual Italian/Jugoslavian(?) document which says that I have a right to health care. The form doesn't provide coverage details, but quotes this international agreement: "Convenzione italo-jugoslava sulle assicurazioni sociali (Art 12 prgg.2-3 della Convenzione - Art. 7 prgg.2-3-4 dell'Accordo Amministrativo)" ...which should be found at http://www.inps.it/doc/ci_internet/accordi/jugo/sommario.htm From a quick read of those parts referenced by the form, it seems to say that it'll have the same rights to health care as if I were a, uhm, Jugoslavian citizen. The form does mention "Bosnia-Erzegovina" and looks like I have the bulk of health care sorted. I'm attaching a redacted version of the form, in case anyone's curious. A travel insurance will of course be useful for travel-specific issues like emergency repatriation, flying a relative to stay with you in case you're hospitalised and other such things. Credit cards can cover some of those, but do read the fine print: plain CartaSI cards, for example, among many other limitations, don't cover Bosnia: http://www.cartasi.it/download/Condizioni_di_Assicurazione_Cartasi.pdf Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini <enrico@enricozini.org>
