The long-awaited electronic issuance of PCR referrals by GPs should start in Bulgaria this Tuesday.
While waiting for the electronic referral system, in Blagoevgrad patients continue to queue before the health inspection. It is said to be “another madness” and increases the risk of “getting even sicker.”
This should change after midnight, when GPs are expected to launch the electronic referral information system for PCR testing. 30 companies are working on its integration.
“There is a problem: how will the patient who will not be able to attend the office that gave him this coupon be identified. Therefore, we will insist that the authentication be with the PIN and the last 4 signs of the referral”, says the GP . Mr. Nikolai Branzalov.
“With the amendment, the general practitioner evaluates the need to perform VSMDI” Polymerase chain reaction for the detection of COVID-19 “, after taking an epidemic history and issuing the remission in the presence of at least two symptoms,” he said in a position of the NHIF.
In a laboratory, after the conclusion of the annex between the fund and the personal doctors on Friday, they accepted several printed instructions for PCR from personal doctors.
“Photographed on paper and sent via viber. We always accept that even if there is a mess, it is better to do them to the patient than to wait”, says the medical director of the laboratory Dr. Blagovesta Pencheva.
The laboratory prepares with electronic signatures for all employees to work with the instructions. There are between 3,500 and 5,000 tests a day.
The prognosis is that with the possibility of GPs issuing referrals for a free trial, the number of samples could increase to 30%.
