Unemployed and self-employed citizens in Moldova have one day left to pay their mandatory health insurance premiums at a significantly reduced rate.

Until March 31, specific groups can access an 80% discount, paying only €131 (approx. 2,527 MDL). This preferential rate applies to agricultural landowners, patent holders, and small business founders.

**Payment and compliance**

The National Health Insurance Company (CNAM) reports that over 138,000 citizens settled their premiums between January 1 and March 30. This figure represents an increase of 4,000 people compared to the same period last year.

Payments can be processed through the government's electronic service, MPay.

**Penalties for non-compliance**

Individuals who miss the deadline will be liable for the full EUR 656 fee. Additionally, late-payment penalties will accrue daily for every day the premium remains unpaid.

Under Moldovan law, health insurance is mandatory for all residents not explicitly insured by the government.
