Payback Law 222/2007 and Law 135/2012 (Replenishment of pharmaceutical expenditure)
The payback procedure provides for the repayment of the surplus of pharmaceutical expenditure by each AIC holder of medicines reimbursed by the SSN. Initially, this mechanism was introduced (article 5 of decree law 159/2007, subsequently converted into law 222/2007) for the repayment of only territorial pharmaceutical expenditure and was subsequently extended to hospital pharmaceutical expenditure (article 15, paragraph 8, of decree law 95/2012 converted into law 135/2012)
