Siena: free transport to places of care for people with socio-economic fragility, go ahead with requests
As per the resolution of the Tuscany Region, the ASL Toscana Sud Est recalls that from 15 January 2023free vouchers may be requested for those who must carry out, within the health system, cycles of diagnostic-therapeutic services prescribed by general practitioners or by a specialist but are unable to reach the place of treatment adequately.
Aid designed and aimed at those suffering from a fragile economic and social condition: for example, for people who live alone or with a disabled person or other elderly person over seventy-five, for those who have relatives but who reside, up to the third degree, at least fifty kilometers away, for people with serious health problems or simply unable to use their own car or local public transport services. All with an access threshold linked to an Isee staggered according to the distance from the place where the services are provided, up to a maximum of 18 thousand euros.
To take advantage of the vouchers, which will be requested from the competent local health authority, at least two of the previous conditions must be met. The economic possibility, measured precisely with Isee, will instead determine the type and extent of the service. Up to 9,360 euros per year of Isee, you can in fact be accompanied at any distance. With an Isee between 9,360 and 12 thousand euros, it will be possible to take advantage of free transport if the health resort is more than ten kilometers away, more than thirty kilometers with Isee between 12 and 15 thousand euros and over fifty kilometers with Isee between 15 and 18 thousand euro per year. Beyond this limit, the voucher will not be available. To request it, you will have to fill in a self-certification: ten percent of the applications will be checked and verified. More detailed information can be requested on the toll-free number 800 55 60 60. In any case, the form can be completed from home by accessing online – with Spid, health card or electronic identity card – at
