How the electronic prescription system will work – Healthcare – Bulgaria – NOVA News
Comment of the Secretary General of the Medical Union Dimitar Marinov
From May 1, the dispensing of medicines will be in electronic form only. Once your GP has prescribed you, you will be able to buy in any pharmacy against the provision of a PIN and the date of the prescription.
“Nothing changes for the patient. You will just have a file and every doctor will know how to treat it. It does not matter to prescribe medicines on paper unless you need this document, for example, to prove that you have paid for the medicine. Let’s say for protected purposes “, said Dimitar Marinov, Secretary General of the Bulgarian Pharmaceutical Union, on the air of” Hello, Bulgaria “.
AFTER THE NEXT REQUEST FOR REFORM: Will there be a cure for the health system
On the website of the National Health Insurance Fund with a special code or electronic signature, consumers will be able to see the medicines prescribed to them by the Health Insurance Fund, Marinov said.
“If you are prescribed 3 drugs, you can take as much as you want to find where you want, while the prescription is long overdue,” he explained.
Emergency doctors and home doctors are expected to use the phone’s app so you can publish e-prescriptions.
According to Dimitar Marinov, the electronic prescription was postponed twice because some doctors were not ready.
