In case of electronic submission of documents, the only physical presence of the person can be only if he is assigned an examination on the occasion of certification, said the Deputy Minister of Health Jeni Nacheva: "If an examination is appointed, an examination is made, then, of course disability must be visited by either the GP, the laboratory or the medical establishment to which the tests are to be performed."

As of today, GPs are obliged to issue a referral for LEMC through the new electronic system.
