    Do You Need a Referral?

    It depends on the situation. for coverage by the Romanian public insurance (CAS), a referral from your family doctor for "orthopedics-traumatology" is required. The referral is valid for 30 days. Without a referral, the consultation will be self-pay.

    What Does CAS Cover?

    Covered: The specialist consultation (with a valid referral). X-rays (with a referral).

    What CAS does NOT cover: Hyaluronic acid or PRP injections (self-pay). MRI (requires a specific referral, possible waiting list). Surgical procedures—coverage conditions vary; details will be provided at scheduling.
