What are the statutory health insurance benefits in Romania?

In Romania, employers are required to withhold and submit statutory health insurance contributions referred to as CASS (“Contribuții de Asigurări Sociale de Sănătate”). These contributions are based on the employee’s gross salary and other salary-assimilated incomes.

Additionally, employee assistance programs are not government-funded. Some employers may choose to offer these programs as additional benefits through external providers. This can occur via direct employment agreements between the employer and the provider or through a supplemental health insurance allowance provided as a monthly allowance to help employees contribute to their own private medical plans.
