Health insurance 2027: fixed contributions of 12,636 and 3,160 lei proposed

The Ministry of Health has put the 2027 parameters of the mandatory health insurance funds up for public consultation until 20 November. The percentage contribution stays at 9% of salaries and other payments, while two fixed amounts are proposed for people who insure themselves individually.

The 12,636-lei contribution would apply to people insuring themselves individually, including some legal and medical professionals and “digital nomads”. The 3,160-lei contribution, payable by 31 March, covers agricultural landowners, patent holders, founders of individual enterprises, independent traders and other categories.

Fund revenues are estimated at about 21 billion lei, 11.5% more than in 2026, and the deficit is set to fall to 300 million lei. Policy details are available from the National Health Insurance Company.

What it means for you

• Employers: the 9% rate is unchanged, so payroll does not need recalculating.
• Patent holders and sole-enterprise founders: budget 3,160 lei by 31 March 2027.
• The amounts are still a draft; proposals can be submitted until 20 November.
