Consultations covered by the NHIF

Dr Penev works with the NHIF (Bulgaria's National Health Insurance Fund). If you have a referral (form No. 3) from your GP, the consultation is covered by the health insurance fund and you pay only the standard NHIF user fee. Tell us when you book that you have a referral. The prices above apply to consultations without a referral.

Tests, procedures and operations

The prices of additional tests and outpatient procedures depend on the individual case and are given to you in advance, when you book or during the consultation – before anything is done.

Hospital treatment (endoscopic and laparoscopic operations, stone treatment, prostate operations) is carried out at Kaspela University Hospital (UMBAL Kaspela), Plovdiv, under the hospital's own procedures and conditions. Information about treatment options covered by the health insurance fund and about the prices of hospital services is available from the hospital on +359 32 645 997.

Payment

Payment at the practice is in euros. You receive a receipt for every consultation.

Prices valid as of 7 November 2026 and subject to change. Current prices are confirmed when you book.
