Thirteen patient associations in Romania are urging the government to remove the annual limit of one MRI or CT scan for chronic patients. They argue that current restrictions hinder timely diagnosis and treatment adjustments, potentially worsening health outcomes. The associations emphasize that access to imaging should be based on medical necessity rather than administrative limits. Starting January 2026, patients under the Monitor regime face strict limitations on imaging reimbursements, which could lead to significant out-of-pocket costs. The associations demand urgent legislative changes to ensure equitable access to necessary medical investigations, highlighting the financial burden on patients and the need for timely monitoring to prevent disease progression.
