Can condoms be reimbursed by medical insurance?

Condoms cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance.

China's social security department strictly stipulates that medical insurance designated retail pharmacies are not allowed to sell food, cosmetics, daily necessities and other items to the insured, condoms are not covered by medical insurance, and condoms cannot be purchased with medical insurance cards.

The medical insurance reimbursement process is as follows:

1. local medical insurance reimbursement: after seeing a doctor in a designated medical institution, people who meet the requirements for medical insurance reimbursement can directly use the medical insurance card to make reimbursement settlement in the settlement window of the medical institution;

2. Reimbursement of medical insurance in different places: if the insured person has difficulty in diagnosis or has no treatment means in medical institutions in this city, he can apply for hospitalization in different places, fill out the Application Form for Transfer to Different Places, report to the municipal medical insurance agency for examination and filing, and then transfer to different places for treatment; If the insured person needs hospitalization in different places due to sudden illness, he can report to the municipal medical insurance center for the record in time after admission. The medical expenses for transfer and emergency treatment in different places also need to be paid in advance by the insured, and then reimbursed by the municipal medical insurance center after discharge. It is recommended to go through the reimbursement procedures within one month.

To sum up, when purchasing contraceptives, it is recommended to know the local medical insurance policy first, and consult with medical insurance institutions or related professionals to ensure that the products that meet the reimbursement conditions are purchased. In addition, you can also consider buying other contraceptive methods, such as oral contraceptives or contraceptive rings, which may be eligible for medical insurance reimbursement.
