Can medical insurance for foreskin surgery be reimbursed?
At present, circumcision is not covered by medical insurance and cannot be reimbursed. However, for foreskin surgery, the cost of this part of medicine and examination is not very high, and the average family can afford it. You can go to the hospital for surgery. Generally, the operation process takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and hospitalization is not required. After operation, the wound should be kept clean and dry. Be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. The wound is sutured with absorbable suture, and no stitches are needed. If the penis is erect, please protect the wound with one hand and hold the glans penis with the other, so that the penis will naturally subside and avoid the wound from cracking.

You can't. Circumcision cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance. Strictly speaking, circumcision actually belongs to plastic surgery, which is exempted from medical insurance, including cosmetic plastic surgery and corrective surgery. Therefore, medical insurance cannot reimburse the related medical expenses caused by circumcision.

Overall fund payment: the amount paid by the medical insurance overall fund according to the regulations in the actual medical expenses. Generally speaking, it is the cost of medical insurance reimbursement.

Expenses within the scope of policy: medical expenses incurred by the insured that meet the payment scope of basic medical insurance.

Deductible: The starting point for the medical insurance pooling fund to compensate the insured for the medical expenses incurred within the policy scope. Medical expenses below this threshold will not be paid by the medical insurance pooling fund.

Reimbursement proportion: the medical insurance pooling fund pays the medical expenses within the insured's policy according to a certain proportion. The higher the proportion, the more money can be reimbursed.

To sum up, foreskin surgery is currently not covered by medical insurance reimbursement. But the medical expenses and examination fees of this part of circumcision can be paid by medical insurance card. The cost of foreskin surgery is unacceptable. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
