Can medical insurance reimburse dental

Medicare can reimburse the cost of dental treatment, but there are limitations on the specific items and percentages that can be reimbursed. Dental treatments of a therapeutic nature, such as fillings, root canals, periodontitis, gingivitis, as well as dental treatments due to accidents, are covered by health insurance. However, non-therapeutic expenditures, such as teeth whitening and dental restoration (commonly known as cosmetic dentistry), are generally not reimbursed. In addition, special medical services, such as dental implants and veneers, are usually not reimbursed through medical insurance due to their high cost. It should be noted that reimbursement by health insurance is usually limited to dental treatments at health insurance designated hospitals. Therefore, it is advisable to check whether the hospital is a designated hospital before receiving treatment to ensure that you are eligible for reimbursement.
