Is there medical insurance for tooth cleaning?

Legal analysis: the scope of use of social security cards varies from place to place. Generally speaking, at present, people go to the hospital to see oral diseases, and the expenses that have been included in the scope of medical insurance are mainly tooth filling (including basic materials and treatment fees), tooth extraction and treatment of periodontal diseases, gingivitis and other dental diseases. The relatively high cost of dental implants is mainly the cost of materials, such as porcelain teeth and dental implants, which are usually approved by the price department and belong to special service fees, and cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance. However, if citizens go to have their teeth extracted and cleaned, they can pay with the balance of their social security card accounts over the years.

It is understood that at present, tooth filling, tooth extraction, oral scaling (that is, "tooth washing") have been included in the scope of medical insurance, while dental inlay and correction are still at their own expense.

Scope of dental expenses reimbursement:

1, dental treatment can be reported: it mainly includes the cost of filling teeth (including basic materials and treatment fees within the scope of medical insurance), tooth extraction, treatment of periodontal disease, gingivitis and other dental diseases;

2. Dental plastic surgery cannot be reported: it mainly includes dental inlays, porcelain teeth, tooth cleaning, orthodontics and dental implants. ;

3. Dental hospitalization expenses can be reported: if the patient is admitted to the hospital due to illness and meets the hospitalization standards, other expenses can be settled according to the medical insurance regulations, except that the denture expenses cannot be paid by the medical insurance pooling fund.

Legal basis: Article 29 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the part of the medical expenses of the insured who should be paid by the basic medical insurance fund shall be directly settled by the social insurance agency, medical institution and pharmaceutical business unit.
