How much does it cost?

The citizen assisted by the National Health System is required to pay pagare the fee for outpatient services (ticket) and the contribution for the digital representation of the medical diagnostic imaging (except persons exempted from payment under current law) as well as a prescription fee according to income brackets as defined at a regional level.

For services outside LEA, the citizens are required to pay the entire amount. The same applies to persons not assisted by the National Health Systems (SSN).

The patient who does not collect the medical report of an outpatient service (eg. laboratory tests, radiologic examinations, etc.) within 30 days after the recording is ready, is still obligated to pay the entire amount of the service, even if exempted.

Medical prescription

The prescription for outpatient healthcare services does not have any expiration date.

The prescription may contain only requests for healthcare services of the same specialist branch.

For each different branch an adequate prescription is requested.

The prescription may contain up to a maximum of eight healthcare services, with the possible exception of scheduled repeated services which may be prescribed up to a maximum of three cycles per prescription.

The prescription may contain only once the same healthcare service which may be repeated, if expressly requested by the physician on the same prescription, up to a maximum of eight times or up to a maximum of three months after the first access (repeatable prescriptions).

An eventual exemption from the payment of the ticket for the healthcare services must be reported on the prescription by the physician. We invite the citizen to point out to the prescriber any eventual exemption for relevant pathologies, exhibiting the related certificate.
