Whether circumcision can be reimbursed is closely related to the local medical insurance regulations. Different regions have different medical insurance regulations, and the specific needs are subject to the regulations of the local medical insurance department. At the same time, it is related to the types of medical insurance that patients participate in, such as social reimbursement for new rural cooperative medical insurance, municipal employee medical insurance and provincial employee medical insurance. Different types of insurance also have different regulations. Circumcision is usually performed in outpatient operating room, and a few patients with phimosis and concealed penis need hospitalization.

Under normal circumstances, circumcision in outpatient operating room cannot be reimbursed, which belongs to simple plastic surgery and needs to be handled by patients at their own expense. For some patients with phimosis complicated with other problems, such as severe balanitis prepuce, abnormal prepuce development, etc., when such patients need hospitalization for surgical treatment, they can be reimbursed for certain expenses. Patients can consult the local medical insurance management department in detail before operation.
