We study energy spectrum for the hydrogen atom problem in Dirac theory with Lorentz-covariant deformed algebra leading to minimal length. Developing perturbation theory free of divergencies we calculate the correction to any energy level in a simple case of deformation when one deformation parameter vanishes. Assuming that the effect of minimal length on energy spectrum cannot be seen experimentally we find the upper bound of minimal length.
