escalão de comparticipação — reimbursement band
The share of the price that the state pays: band A — 90%, B — 69%, C — 37%, D — 15%. The band is determined not by the name of the medicine but by its pharmacotherapeutic group. For pensioners on low incomes, 5 percentage points are added to band A and 15 to the others.
Where you come across it. Buying medicine on prescription.
On top of the bands there are special schemes for particular diseases; they calculate reimbursement in their own way and are not shown in the medicines database.
