Can medical insurance reimburse dentistry?
Medical insurance can reimburse the cost of dental treatment, but the specific items and proportion that can be reimbursed are limited. Therapeutic dental treatment, such as tooth filling, root canal treatment, periodontitis, gingivitis and dental treatment caused by accidents, are all within the scope of medical insurance reimbursement. However, non-therapeutic expenses, such as tooth whitening and tooth restoration (commonly known as whole teeth), are generally not reimbursed. In addition, special medical services, such as dental implants and dental implants, are usually not reimbursed through medical insurance because of their high costs. It should be noted that medical insurance reimbursement is usually limited to dental treatment in hospitals designated by medical insurance. Therefore, before receiving treatment, it is suggested to confirm whether the hospital is a designated hospital for medical insurance to ensure that it can enjoy medical insurance reimbursement.
