Negotiations between National Health Insurance Fund and Bulgarian Medical Association fail

Sofia. Representatives of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) left the negotiations with the Bulgarian Medical Association (BMA). The meeting was set in order the new National Framework Agreement (NFA) to be negotiated and adopted. NHIF representatives withdrew from the table of negotiations with the motive that the BMA did not send legitimate representatives. Head of the NHIF board Emil Raynov demanded documentation proving that BMA reps were legally appointed and sent to the meeting. BMA agreed to send a copy of the decision of appointment later in the day. NHIF remained strong on its position and insisted negotiations to be interrupted until legal matters of the legitimacy of the representatives are cleared.
