Doctors in Siena for tourists and travellers
What is Medyca?
If you are travelling and looking for a doctor near Siena, in Tuscany, Medyca might be the right solution for you.
The UK Government listed Medyca as the recommended English-speaking medical services in Tuscany, the only one among the list that provides house-call visits.
Medyca provides doctors that speak multiple languages, to suit the medical needs of foreign travellers in Tuscany.
Our house call doctors come directly to your hotel room or country house, on same day of request. Our average turnaround time in 2019 was around 3 hours. This means that on average, patients receive a doctor just 2.5 hours after submitting a request form on Medyca.it.
Where can I see a doctor?
Medyca started its activity in Siena, Italy in spring 2019, providing a long-needed medical service tailored for foreign tourists and travellers in the territory. Medyca's current area of activity covers the entirety of Tuscany and sometimes central Italy as a whole.
Medyca's doctors are available for house calls, both in city centres and anywhere in the countryside. You can also book a medical appointment at our private clinic in the Siena city centre, if you don't have an accommodation nearby. Just specify it in the request form and our team will communicate the appointment time. If you are unsure whether our doctors can reach you to your location, just ask! You simply need to place a doctor request and our team will confirm all the necessary details.

If extra services are performed during the visit, there may be an extra-charge. Night visits (later than 20:00) have 100€ extra charge.

Will my health insurance refund the expense?
After the appointment, we provide you a medical report that details the findings of the doctor visit, prescriptions, and treatments. As we produce this report directly in English, you won't risk that your insurance will not accept it, due to language differences. Although we cannot promise that all health insurance will refund our visits, we can tell you that nobody has ever seen their expense claim rejected yet. Should it happen to you, please contact us and we will do our best to help you get your money back. We are used to filling out additional documentation specifically required by your insurance, so just ask and we will be happy to help you.
