There is no free medicine for foreigners in Bulgaria.
But, there is insurance medicine.
Foreign citizens – homeowners or those who came on vacation, tourists or those who have Long stay in the country (residence permit) , must have health insurance
If an insured event arises and there is a need to contact a medical specialist, you need to call your insurance company, get instructions and follow them.
Some insurance companies have contracts with hospitals and are in direct contact with clinics. Others reimburse the cost of treatment post factum.
Foreign citizens with a residence permit pay for treatment in Bulgaria. If the insurance company does not have contracts with certain hospitals, then you can use the services of private medical institutions.
Our opinion about the best clinics in Bulgaria was formed from the reviews of Bulgarian medicine by people who have been living in the country for a long time. Of course, they are contradictory, but the work of insurance companies is almost the same and with the same institutions. The only difference is in the prices and terms of payment (compensation) for the insured event.
