Can braces be covered by medical insurance?

You can use medical insurance to make braces. The analysis is as follows:

1. The medical expenses incurred by filling teeth are paid by the medical insurance fund, and can be paid directly by swiping the medical insurance card. However, dental implants and dental implants belong to the category of medical beauty. You can't pay by medical insurance card, but you need to pay in cash. Therefore, whether it can be reimbursed depends on whether it has undergone medical beauty such as dental implants and dental implants. Partial fillings can be reimbursed;

2. But you need to take the medical insurance manual to the designated hospital. If you don't show the medical insurance manual or have no treatment details, the treatment expenses will not be reimbursed. The cost of dental treatment depends on the treatment items and materials, and some items can be swiped with medical insurance cards in designated hospitals.

3. At present, people go to the hospital to see oral diseases, and the expenses that have been included in the scope of medical insurance are mainly tooth filling (including basic materials and treatment fees), tooth extraction and treatment of periodontal diseases, gingivitis and other dental diseases. The relatively high cost of dental implants is mainly the cost of materials, such as porcelain teeth and dental implants, which are usually approved by the price department and belong to special service fees, and cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance. However, if citizens go to have their teeth extracted and cleaned, they can use the balance of the medical insurance card to pay for it, although they cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance.
