Portuguese to English Medical Medical: Health Care
Evening everyone,

I am translating a hospital bill and in the itemised summary there is a heading called 'filme'.

I can't find anywhere what this means and am at a loss as to what it could be referring to.

The other column headings are:

"Grupo de procedimento"
"Sub-Total"
"Taxas"
"Desconto"
"Total"

if this helps a bit with context.

Thanks in advance!

Nosso amigo Richard, faz a pergunta e desaparece. Precisamos de esclarecimentos para poder sugerir uma resposta, amigo!

Country? Could it be an abbreviation?
Paulinho Fonseca Jul 31, 2014:
@Mario,

that's a good one!
Mario Freitas Jul 31, 2014:
Is it a labor invoice? Some maternities have an agreement with service providers that shoot the birth and include that service in the bill. Just a guess as well.
Paulinho Fonseca Jul 31, 2014:
@Richard,

anything that is directly related to 'filme'?
I just thought about that 'film stretch' we use it to wrap food, packages, boxes, etc.

It was just a guess, as it is lacking a direct link to term. :)

I believe this is a charge for the film or plates used for X-rays and other diagnostic tests
