The health insurance contribution remains 8%.
380 000 Bulgarians have lost their rights to free healthcare after changes in the health insurance laws, Katya Kashumov, from the National Revenue Agency confirmed Thursday.
According to the new laws people who have not paid their health insurance contributions for a total of three months over the last three years will lose their rights to free health care.
If people want to regain their rights to free healthcare they will now have to re-pay all of their outstanding health insurance payments as well as any interest incurred.
Health insurance payments have jumped from BGN 10,40 to BGN 16,80 per month from the start of 2010 and payments must be made by people who are self-insured before the 10 th of each month.
Self-insured people must also fill in the model 7 declaration by March 1 2010 if they want to continue receiving free health care. If the payments are not made in time patients will have to pay the full amount plus interest to be re-instated into the system.
