The Gerneral Practitioners can, without problems, report to the NHIF the Immunizations preformed in children despite the changes of the terms of their performance

There are no problems for the General Practitioners to report via the information system of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) the immunizations, despite the change in the terms of the required immunizations for children (Ordinance amending and supplementing Ordinance No. 15 from 2005 on immunizations in the Republic of Bulgaria (prom., SG 54 from 07.01.2014, in force from 01.07.2014 years).

By letters dated August 7 and September 3, 2014 the Directors of the RHIF were informed by the Director of the NHIF of the changes to the Ordinance. Attached to the letters were a letter of the Chief State Health Inspector and an Order of the Minister of Health.

The amendments to the Immunization Schedule of the Republic of Bulgaria related to the changes in timing of the required immunizations are consistent with the reporting and payment of the required immunizations performed under contract with the NHIF. For this purpose, the Director of the National Health Insurance Fund – Dr. R. Todorova, has sent letters to the directors of the Regional Health Insurance Funds, which remind them again to inform the providers of primary outpatient care under contract with the institution.
