First of all, we need to know about dental treatment and dental beauty. After understanding these two concepts, we can be more clear about the scope of medical insurance reimbursement.

1. Dental treatment: mainly refers to the diseases that need to be treated, such as general treatment, tooth filling, tooth extraction, periodontal disease, etc. You can use medical insurance, and it is cash in the medical insurance card. In addition, medical insurance can be used for tooth extraction, tooth filling and dental treatment, and only some of them can be reimbursed by medical insurance. The key depends on whether the items, materials and drugs involved in the filling process belong to the scope of medical insurance. If the medical insurance is abnormal, it can be reimbursed.

2. Tooth beauty: it mainly refers to the restoration of the appearance and some functions of teeth, such as teeth straightening, teeth whitening and tooth planting. The state expressly stipulates that it does not belong to the scope of medical insurance, but belongs to the category of beauty special needs. The price of dental implants is approved by the price department, and reimbursement is generally not allowed.

On February 1 1, 2022, Chen Jinfu, deputy director of the National Health Insurance Bureau, introduced the progress of deepening the reform of centralized procurement of drugs and high-value medical consumables at the State Council Office, saying that dental implants are an important method for the restoration and treatment of missing teeth, and there is a great social demand. Since last year, Sichuan has organized an inter-provincial alliance to study the rules of dental implant collection, and now the plan is basically mature. We have also widely listened to the opinions of clinics, enterprises and localities, and are ready to launch such an alliance reform of centralized mining in the first half of this year. In fact, it is also a layout led by the state, and it is also a centralized mining method explored by dental implants. "
