Dental implant refers to the restoration of missing teeth by artificial root bone implantation, which has the functions of beauty and restoration. However, because there is no dental implant specialist in the current designated medical insurance institutions, dental implant treatment is not covered by medical insurance. The specific reasons include: 1. Designated medical insurance institutions can only provide designated services, and cannot actively expand the scope of services, which requires oral specialists to actively strive for. 2. The high cost of dental implant treatment is one of the important reasons why dental implants can not be included in the scope of medical insurance compared with traditional restoration methods. However, as more and more people realize the importance of dental implant treatment, some areas are gradually promoting the inclusion of dental implants in medical insurance, which means that patients can enjoy relevant medical insurance. In addition, the training and popularization of dental specialists is also one of the important ways to improve the coverage of dental insurance. In short, although dental implants are not covered by medical insurance at present, with the continuous optimization and improvement of relevant policies, it is believed that the possibility of dental implants being included in medical insurance will be increasing.
Will dental implants be covered by medical insurance in the next time? Whether dental implants can be included in the scope of medical insurance is still uncertain, depending on the opinions of policy makers and the decisions of relevant departments. However, we can see that with the promotion of the new medical reform and the continuous adjustment and optimization of the medical security policy, the possibility of dental implants being included in the medical insurance coverage is gradually increasing. Therefore, it is suggested to pay attention to the relevant policy trends and consult and communicate with stomatologists in order to better understand the latest progress of dental implant treatment and the changes of relevant policies.
The importance of dental implant therapy has been recognized by more and more people, but it is still difficult to include it in the scope of medical insurance. We can see that the inclusion of dental implant therapy in the scope of medical insurance not only helps patients get better medical security, but also promotes the development and popularization of this technology. Therefore, it is suggested that relevant departments and medical institutions strengthen cooperation and actively promote the progress and development of dental implant treatment.
