Look at the medical insurance bureau's response:
"The basic medical insurance system in China is based on ensuring the basic medical needs of the insured. Dental implants belong to a higher level of medical needs, and dental implants are not considered for the time being. At present, basic dentures such as fixed dentures and removable dentures are not covered by the medical insurance fund. "
What items can be reimbursed for dentistry?
At present, according to the relevant provisions of medical insurance, the treatment expenses of therapeutic dental treatment such as tooth extraction, root canal treatment, periodontal disease and gingivitis treatment are included in the medical insurance fund.
If it is the cost of medical cosmetic repair such as dental implant, porcelain restoration and tooth whitening, the medical insurance fund will not pay it. However, like porcelain teeth and dental implants, they belong to the category of beauty in oral restoration. The prices of porcelain teeth and veneers are approved by the price department and cannot be reimbursed under normal circumstances.
How to save money by seeing a dentist?
If it is a project within the scope of medical insurance, you can consider going to the stomatology department of a public hospital. If it is not within the scope, especially dental projects such as orthodontics and dental implants, it is expensive and will not be reimbursed. It is more economical to go to some regular dental clinics.
