Hi, I expect you have read all the "health threads" on the forum. You shouldn't need private health insurance according to the British Embassy. I am not yet resident so cannot speak from first hand experience but I know plenty of people who have obtained their tessera without difficulty.

However it might be easier to take out the €125 policy mentioned by Gangiacomo in this thread:

And argue the toss [I]after [/I]you have used it to get your ASL tessera.

Good luck
