How to benefit from these treatments
Terme di Comano has a special agreement with the National Health Service, which undertakes to bear all medical expenses for the thermal treatments. Similarly, INAIL (the Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work) bears all expenses for the treatment of occupational diseases acknowledged and certified by the relevant office.
Thus, to benefit from the thermal treatments, all patients have to go to the Spa with a prescription from their family doctor, written on the official region pad, together with their health card and tax code.
The prescription must specify the diagnosis corresponding to one of the pathologies for which treatment is authorised by the Ministerial Decree of 15.12.94 and the related course of treatments to be applied.
Every Italian citizen is entitled to one course of treatments only per year (even for different types/disorders). The sole exceptions are disabled servicemen, individuals disabled while serving their country, blind civilians, deaf and dumb people and civilian disabled with more than 66% invalidity.
