Basic Dental Coverage (Limited): Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides coverage for specific dental surgeries related to serious health issues affecting the mouth.

👤Who it's for

This scheme is not intended for general dental health. It is strictly limited to individuals suffering from severe, non-preventable illnesses of the masticatory system. The masticatory system refers to the structures used for chewing, such as the jaw and associated parts. To qualify, the condition must be documented as a serious illness rather than a standard dental issue.

🎁What you get

If your condition meets the required severity criteria, the scheme provides coverage for specific dental surgeries. This is designed to assist with surgical interventions necessitated by the aforementioned illnesses of the masticatory system.

💰What it costs you

While the surgeries themselves may be covered, there are costs associated with the process. You must obtain and provide medical certification to prove that your condition meets the specific criteria. It is important to remember that most routine dental care is not part of this scheme and must be paid for out-of-pocket. You should check with your provider regarding any remaining costs for your specific procedure.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to understand is the limitation on what is covered. Routine checkups, preventative cleanings, and standard dental maintenance are never covered by this basic insurance. This scheme is specifically for surgical needs related to severe illness, not for regular oral hygiene or preventative care.

📝How to apply

1. Visit your dentist to discuss your symptoms and determine if your condition is considered a severe, non-preventable illness of the masticatory system.
2. Request formal medical certification from your healthcare provider that explicitly details your diagnosis.
3. Contact your insurance provider to submit your medical certification and confirm your eligibility for surgical coverage.
