The supervisory board of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) will discuss the fund's draft budget for 2027 at a meeting that starts at 10:00, the NHIF said.

The budget is the first of three items on the agenda.

On the second item, the board must approve how money from the reserve is shared out, along with an updated monthly breakdown of the NHIF's 2026 budget. Members will also vote on internally offset changes to the funds the NHIF gets as transfers from the Ministry of Health, and to payments made from them.

Health minister Katya Ivkova presented the ministry's draft 2027 budget at a press conference on Monday. She said the ministry wants the money to give people more secure access to medicines, better prevention, and more modern emergency and child care. Ivkova also pointed to support for young staff in health care, and easier access to diagnosis and treatment.

The third item is new and updated requirements for diagnoses in the NHIF's List of Diseases under Article 45, paragraph 4 of the Health Insurance Act. Treating these diseases requires an expert opinion under Article 78, point 2 of the act.
