Dental implants were included in medical insurance in the first half of the year. The relevant plan may be launched in the first half of 2022, but the specific implementation time needs to wait for official notice, which may be 2023. It has been deployed since early last year. Sichuan organized an inter-provincial alliance to study the rules of dental implant collection. Now the plan is basically mature, and the opinions of clinics, enterprises and localities have been widely listened to. It is planned to start such reform of local expropriation alliance in the first half of this year.

Dental implants can't be covered by medical insurance. Medical insurance can be used for many projects, such as tooth implantation and treatment of tooth and gum diseases. However, dental implants belong to the category of cosmetic surgery, and medical insurance only reimburses the cost of treating diseases. Dental implants do not belong to the category of cosmetic surgery. If dental implants are expensive, you can choose to fill teeth or implant teeth, which can be reimbursed. Medical insurance generally refers to basic medical insurance, which is a social insurance system established to compensate workers for economic losses caused by disease risks. The medical insurance fund is established through the contributions of employers and individuals. After the insured person has medical expenses, the medical insurance institution will give certain economic compensation. The establishment and implementation of the basic medical insurance system has gathered the economic strength of units and social members. With the government's funding, sick social members can get necessary material help from the society, reduce the burden of medical expenses, and prevent sick social members from "poverty due to illness". Medical insurance has the basic characteristics of social insurance, such as compulsion, mutual assistance and sociality. Therefore, the medical insurance system is usually enforced by national legislation and a fund system is established. The expenses are paid jointly by the employer and the individual, and the medical insurance premium is paid by the medical insurance institution to solve the medical risks caused by the illness or injury of the employees.
