In Bulgaria everything starts with your GP ("⁠личен лекар⁠"): they examine you, give referrals to specialists, and write prescriptions and sick notes. If you have public health insurance, ask which visits are covered by НЗОК and whether a patient fee is due. In an emergency, call 112. This is general information, not medical or legal advice — rules change, so check with НЗОК (the health fund) or your doctor. Amounts and conditions in the dialogues are examples.
