Bulgarian National Health Insurance Fund operations
Overview
The Bulgarian National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) has implemented several administrative and clinical updates. In late October 2026, the NHIF released specific guidance regarding coverage for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis. This guidance identifies high-risk groups, such as postmenopausal women and elderly individuals, as eligible for free prevention and early diagnosis. It also outlines monitoring and prescription protocols for different categories of osteoporosis diagnoses.
By early November 2026, the NHIF reported the completion of new individual contracts with medical and dental service providers for the 2026–2028 period. These contracts follow the publication of National Framework Contracts in September 2026. The NHIF reported thousands of signed contracts across primary outpatient medical care, hospital care, dental care, and specialized outpatient care, stating that these negotiations aim to ensure stable funding and uninterrupted healthcare access.
