Can I go to medical insurance for reimbursement for filling my teeth?

For routine fillings, including basic materials and treatment fees within the scope of medical insurance, you can go through the medical insurance reimbursement procedures. However, it should be noted that you must be treated in the stomatology department of a designated hospital in order to enjoy medical insurance reimbursement.

If the treatment project is within the scope of medical insurance reimbursement, it is necessary to hold a social security card to a designated medical institution before settlement can be implemented. However, for high-end filling materials, such as high-consumption resin materials such as 3M series resin and light-cured resin, it may not be within the scope of reimbursement. It is best to go to the medical insurance department of the People's Social Security Bureau or the medical insurance center of the hospital for detailed inquiry.

Detailed introduction:

Dental filling is generally aimed at patients with tooth decay and dental caries. Dental filling treatment belongs to the treatment scope of stomatology, and the expenses incurred can be reimbursed through medical insurance.

Patients can register for medical insurance and have their teeth filled in the clinic. Because filling teeth is equivalent to treating teeth, it is within the scope of medical insurance reimbursement. Stomatology can not only fill teeth, but also do some surgical treatment, which can be reimbursed through medical insurance.

For example, some patients have small maxillofacial tumors to be removed, and some common tooth extraction and root canal treatment can be reimbursed through medical insurance. However, it should be noted that if dental restoration or orthodontics are carried out, then medical insurance cannot be used for reimbursement, because these two types belong to cosmetic surgery and are not within the scope of reimbursement.
