DO I HAVE TO PAY MY HEALTH CONTRIBUTIONS IF MY EMPLOYER DIDN'T PAY IN?

If my employer has not paid the health insurance contributions, do I have to pay them so that I do not lose my health insurance rights?

When the obligation to pay social security contributions rests with the employer or another person, the non-payment of social security contributions does not deprive the insured person of health insurance rights.

If you are a Bulgarian citizen and have resided abroad for more than 183 days in a calendar year, you may not pay health insurance contributions in Bulgaria.

In order to restore your health insurance rights and obligations upon return to Bulgaria, submit to the NRA an Application for Return to the Country. With the application you must also submit documents proving that you have been abroad for more than 183 days in a calendar year.
