I looked into the application of health insurance for implants.

This time, my mother-in-law is getting an implant, so I looked into health insurance coverage.

First, health insurance implants are only available to seniors aged 65 and older.

Since 2018, the patient copayment rate has been reduced from 50% to 30%, allowing treatment at 30% of the medical costs.

However, it is not possible for all teeth.

The most important thing is that it cannot be applied if there are no teeth at all, so at least one of your own teeth must remain.

There are materials for prosthetic devices such as gold, zirconia, and PFM, but only PFM is covered by insurance.

Additional costs will be incurred if prosthetic changes or bone grafting are necessary, and in such cases, you will need to cover the expenses yourself.

Please be aware that insurance coverage is only applicable to up to two items in a lifetime~

If you are doing multiple, it seems that you do two with insurance-covered PFM and the rest mostly with zirconia.

Elderly patients often have poor gum health, so when getting implants, you should visit various hospitals and do thorough research.

After visiting various hospitals, I found that the number of implants needed varies, and the costs differ significantly.

Before you go, it's also a good idea to compare implant prices and get a rough idea of the average cost~^^
