English translation: 100% coverage of prescription (Rx) drugs/medical treatment

Medical - Medical (general) / Ambulans kezelolap
Hungarian term or phrase: KGX
Dear forum,

I should probably leave this term as it is, but I do wonder what it refers to?

Context:
Statusz
C-L gerinc erzekeny, a tarko szabad. Meningealisan negativ. Agyidegek jol innervalnak. Jo tonustalanabb Achilles reflex, ko H-T jel. [..]
Therapia:
KGX. [8-jegyu SZAM] érv. [DATUM]

English translation:100% coverage of prescription (Rx) drugs/medical treatment
Explanation:
Y and X keys are right beside each other and often they are accidentally switched during typing. The physician wanted to write Y and not X. KGY means közgyógyra felírt gyógyszer/orvosi ellátás. Közgyógy means that the local government pays the full drug/medical treatment and the patient does not have to pay anything.

I meant during typing they (X and Y) are often accidentally mixed up.

Important:

This is not the same as prescription exemption, because it has nothing to do with OEP ( National Health Insurance Fund Administration of Hungary). Local governments decide and give the money for these prescribed drugs/medical devices/treatments. EÜ kiemelt/EÜ emelt benefits are given by the OEP but not közgyógy.

And prescription exemption is paid by the NHS. Also közgyógy is many times provided based on the social environment of the patient, meanwhile prescription exemption is provided based on illness/medical condition types.
