C.SSN

English translation: NHS Reimbursement Class

02:50 Jun 20, 2019
Italian to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / medication prescriptions
Italian term or phrase: C.SSN
This is one of the headings under Terapia Farmaceutica Prescritta alla Dimissione in a patient's discharge report.

We have: F: [no idea what this is] // Principio Attivo: // Medicinale: // Posologia e Periodo di Trattamento: // C.SSN

These headings are followed by a table listing all the active ingredient names, medication names, dosage etc. In the C.SSN column, there is a letter 'A' for each of the medications.

I think it has to do with whether the SSN will pay for the prescription, but I'm just guessing.

What does this C stand for here, and what does this little C.SSN mean ?

Thanks.

Explanation:
Ciao Joseph!

The acronym should stand for "Catergoria SSN (sistema sanitario nazionale)"

In Italy, drugs are divided into reimbursement classes. Class A concerns drugs that are reimbursed by the NHS.

agree  Luigi Argentino: I fully agree with you. About the meaning of "F" letter, I think it could mean simply "Farmaco o Farmaci" . But it is just a hypothesis
