Hello,
As luck would have I have just got an E111 form for the purpose of travelling to Bulgaria next month.
Although Bulgaria is outside the EEA, it is a member of the "Reciprocal Health Care Agreement". This is actually listed within the E111 form.
The Government suggest that you obtain an E111, otherwise charges may be collected directly and may not be refunded in full. This also includes dental treatment (of which there are two dentists in Pamporovo).
The only thing you will pay for would be prescriptions (unlike EEA countries).
God - I bore myself sometimes.
Hope this helps. I think its best to get one to be on the safe side.
We spent 7 days in Bourgas hospital last June near Sunny Beach. All we had to pay was first £50, then insurance picked up the rest, We were told an E111 was no good at all.
