Can I use social security card to fill my teeth in Shenzhen?

Legal analysis: Under normal circumstances, medical insurance cards can be used for dental treatment and tooth extraction, while tooth cleaning, tooth inlay and orthodontics belong to the category of tooth beauty, and these items cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance. Dental fillings are within the scope of treatment, and social security cards can be used, but only part of them can be reimbursed. The key is to see whether the items, materials and drugs involved in the filling process belong to the scope of medical insurance. If it is within the scope of medical insurance, it can be reimbursed by medical insurance, and vice versa.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

Twenty-eighth medical expenses that meet the basic medical insurance drug list, diagnosis and treatment items, medical service facilities standards and emergency treatment and rescue shall be paid by the basic medical insurance fund in accordance with state regulations.

The administrative department of social insurance and the administrative department of health shall establish a settlement system for medical expenses in different places to facilitate the insured to enjoy the basic medical insurance benefits.
