Healthcare without
the headaches.
A concierge support program designed for American and international patients. We help with insurance administration, medical interpretation, appointment coordination, and communication across the Italian and U.S. healthcare systems, so you can focus on your health.
Medical Liaison Services is Family Clinic's support program for American patients living in Italy, including members of the expat community, civilian and military-connected families, and international professionals. Depending on the service requested, our team can assist with U.S. insurance paperwork, English-Italian medical interpretation, coordination with external specialists and hospitals, hospital navigation, and pharmacy-related communication.
Italian healthcare offers excellent clinical expertise, but forms are often in Italian, pharmacies may not always provide service in English, and U.S. insurers may request documentation in formats that Italian providers do not routinely use.
Hospital procedures can involve unfamiliar paperwork and processes. Medical Liaison Services provides practical support throughout the patient journey, from the first call to the final documentation required for insurance or follow-up care.
Italian healthcare was not designed
around international patients. We bridge the gap.
Medical Interpretation.
Professional medical interpretation requires more than bilingual conversation. It involves understanding U.S. and Italian medical terminology, medication names, documentation standards, and the clinical context behind each interaction.
U.S. Insurance Support.
Many clinics in Italy are not set up to manage U.S. health insurance. Our dedicated process may include pre-authorization support, claim documentation, direct billing when available under the patient's plan, and reimbursement paperwork formatted for review by U.S. insurers.

When you need a service that Family Clinic does not provide directly, such as a hospital procedure, a subspecialty consultation, or advanced imaging, our Liaison team can help coordinate the next steps. Depending on the service, we may arrange the external appointment, organize the transfer of medical records, provide interpretation when permitted, and add the resulting documentation to your Family Clinic record.
Hospital Navigation.
Facing a hospital procedure in an unfamiliar healthcare system can be stressful. When arranged in advance and permitted by the facility, our Liaison team can assist with pre-admission paperwork, interpretation, discharge-document review, and coordination of follow-up care at Family Clinic.
Concierge Logistics.
Practical details can become major obstacles when you are unwell in a foreign country. The following services may be available on request and may involve an additional fee.
