The Constitutional Court overturned the limits on hospital treatment. This provision prohibits the Health Fund from paying the so-called over-limit activity of the medical facilities.
The existence of limits makes it difficult for patients to access medical care when the financial framework determined by the fund is exhausted.
What will change for the insured? Vladislav Vodenicharski gets injured during a match. His doctor estimates that they don’t have time to wait for his drainage to go down and they have to operate on him right away, writes “24 Hours”.
“He said to me ‘we’re going to have to do some shuffling to fit you in.’ If I had to register according to the channel order, I would have to wait another two weeks or a month, I have no idea,” says Vodenicharski.
After the decision of the Constitutional Court enters into force, the treasury will have no reason to deny hospitals payment of the full amount of the performed medical activity, and patients will not be returned due to exhaustion of the limits.
“When we talk about the treatment of Bulgarian citizens, it will be a change in a positive direction. That is, they have been treated so far. That is why this activity is above the limit, it is simply not paid to the hospitals. Therefore, in terms of treatment, there will be no problems,” commented Arkady Sharkov, an expert in healthcare economics.
