It turned out that I have increased intraocular pressure. My doctor prescribed drops and referred me to the university hospital because of most of the specialists and the better equipment they have there. I will stay in the clinic for three days, they will stop my drip and monitor if the pressure will rise. Do I need to pay any fees? What I do know is that I need to get a referral from the doctor I originally saw. I also spoke with a representative of one of the German he alth funds - AOK, according to whom everything should be free. However, I will be happy and more relaxed if I get confirmation from you as well. Until now, I use the European He alth Insurance Card and only pay for the medicines. Thanks in advance

The European He alth Insurance Card (EHIC) is a document that proves that the person is insured in the country that issued the EHIC. The card covers the necessary emergency and medically urgent he alth care, the volume and type of treatment being assessed by the attending physician in the other country.

The aid should have been received in medical facilities working with a local he alth fund. The necessary medical assistance is received according to the order for the local insured.

During their stay abroad, students are treated according to the legislation of the respective country - i.e. if the local he alth insurance system provides for additional payment by patients for certain types of medical services or a legally regulated user fee, it is also paid by Bulgarians, and the amount paid is not subject to reimbursement upon return to Bulgaria.

If the therapy you are about to receive falls within the scope of urgent or urgent medical care and the clinic approves the EHIC, then you can benefit from it. In most cases in EU/EEA/Switzerland countries, the insured pay for the he alth services used. Provided that you have to pay, after your return to Bulgaria you have the right to apply to the NHIF for reimbursement of costs - against providing the original financial and medical documents from abroad.
