Therefore, patients need to pay cash for filling their teeth. The cost of filling teeth varies according to the choice of filling materials, ranging from 150-450 yuan, even as good as 900 yuan. Moreover, the more expensive the materials, the less likely the medical insurance is to be balanced, because imported materials are not included in the treatment scope. However, if there is dental caries, it is necessary to fill the teeth in time. If there is no treatment in the early stage and pulpitis occurs, the cost of treatment may double. In fact, conventional dental treatment has been included in the scope of medical insurance in China, and medical units that cooperate with medical insurance can enter the scope of medical insurance reimbursement according to the treatment situation and the use of consumables. However, due to different filling materials, if patients use high-standard materials, then the scope of reimbursement is beyond the scope of medical insurance, and they will no longer enjoy reimbursement, and the selected medical units should also be mainly public units. Personal account of medical insurance is a special account established according to the basic medical insurance policy, which is specially used to store the medical insurance premiums paid by the insured and the funds allocated by the employer according to a certain proportion, and record the medical consumption. The funds in the personal account are used to pay for the out-of-pocket part of medical treatment and medicine purchase. Social security card is an electronic information card that medical insurance agencies handle for the insured to seek medical treatment and purchase medicines, and is used to verify identity, record and store personal account funds and usage. With my social security card, the insured can seek medical treatment at any designated medical institution in this city or purchase medicines at designated retail pharmacies.
Some medical insurance cards can fill teeth, but most of them need to be paid by themselves. Generally speaking, the most common materials can be paid by medical insurance, such as amalgam fillings. About 40-80 yuan can get medical insurance, but if you use glass ions or resin to fill your teeth, these are all self-funded projects. In addition, if the tooth nerve is damaged, root canal treatment should also be done. About half of the cost of root canal treatment can be borne by medical insurance, which is about 200-500 yuan. The earlier a tooth is filled, the lower the cost.
