Expat Health Insurance & Healthcare Guide to Bulgaria

An expat in Ivaylovgrad, Bulgaria offers some brief insights into the health care system and also advice on what to know and expect there.

There are doctors clinics for general health issues that are easy to use as (for instance) if you need an ex-ray for a problem, it is done there within minutes and you then see the doctor again and the results and treatments are discussed. There is no need to book an appointment and the total cost of a visit such as this is approximately 40 Bulgarian Lev to include the ex-ray. Medication is then prescribed and it is very affordable compared with the UK.
