The cost of dental implant surgery is not covered by medical insurance, so you can't enjoy medical insurance reimbursement. Medical insurance only reimburses the cost of dental treatment, such as tooth filling, tooth extraction and treatment of periodontal disease and gingivitis. Dental implants are regarded as cosmetic plastic surgery projects, similar to orthodontics and orthodontics, so they are self-funded projects. If the insured needs medical insurance reimbursement for dental treatment, he must ensure that the treatment items conform to the relevant provisions of medical insurance, and submit the materials required for reimbursement according to the prescribed procedures.
The scope of reimbursement for agricultural insurance:
1, basic medical security: covering the cost of diagnosis and treatment of common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases;
2. Critical illness insurance: provide higher reimbursement for specific major diseases;
3. Outpatient overall planning: rural insurance in some areas includes overall reimbursement of outpatient expenses;
4. Medical assistance: provide additional medical assistance to groups with special difficulties;
5. Drug reimbursement: including reimbursement of some western medicines and proprietary Chinese medicines.
To sum up, the cost of dental implant surgery cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance, because it is a self-funded project and does not meet the scope of medical insurance reimbursement.
