In Romania, insured individuals can access blood tests and other paraclinical tests without payment if they have a valid medical referral. The referral must be justified based on medical needs and can be issued by a family doctor. There is no fixed limit on the number of tests per referral, and chronic patients may receive referrals more frequently. The validity of the referral ticket varies, typically lasting 30 days, extendable under certain conditions. If a laboratory runs out of funds, patients can either wait for a later date or choose another CNAS partner laboratory, with some tests guaranteed regardless of funding status.
