Centro Diagnostico Italiano

What Centro Diagnostico Italiano does

Centro Diagnostico Italiano S.p.A. (CDI) is a private Italian outpatient diagnostic and healthcare network headquartered at Via Saint Bon Simone 20, Milan, founded in 1975 and operating as a Società per Azioni with €5,200,000 share capital. The company is subject to the direction and coordination of Bracco S.p.A., a diversified Italian healthcare conglomerate, with Diana Bracco serving as President & CEO and Andrea Mecenero as CEO/General Manager. CDI operates 36 facilities across the Lombardy region — 23 polyclinics plus physiotherapy, dental, and imaging sites — and serves more than 600,000 unique patients annually with a workforce of over 2,000 staff including medical specialists, technicians, nurses, and administrative personnel.

The service portfolio spans diagnostic imaging (MRI, CT with photon-counting technology, ultrasound), laboratory analyses (clinical pathology, microbiology, virology, pathological anatomy, molecular genetics), specialist consultations across multiple disciplines, day surgery, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, Cyberknife robotic radiosurgery, and preventive medicine programs (CDI Check, CDI GEN NIPT, Mappatura Nei Total Body Advanced, Total Body MRI screening, CDI Sport Clinic). Care is delivered through SSI/National Health Service pathways, private pay, supplementary health funds and insurance, and corporate occupational medicine. The digital layer consists of a mobile application (CDI Care on iOS and Android), the Il Mio CDI patient portal, the prenota.cdi.it online booking platform, WhatsApp booking, and telemedicine (CDIconVOI videoconsultation). The company holds JCI accreditation (since 2006, extended network-wide in 2018), SSN accreditation, and ISO certification, making it the first private accredited entity in the Milan ATS area to adopt Regione Lombardia's unified CUP booking system.

Revenue is generated through four parallel streams: SSN-funded accredited services (recurring), direct private pay, insurance and health fund reimbursements (transactional), and corporate occupational health and wellness contracts. CDI serves primary segments of individual patients, women (CDI per le Donne), athletes (CDI Sport Clinic), and corporate clients, with sub-brands for distinct verticals and physical distribution concentrated across Lombardy cities including Milano, Cernusco sul Naviglio, Corsico, Legnano, Pavia, Rho, Varese, and Besozzo, plus a commercial office in Napoli.
