Professional Teeth Cleaning Subsidy: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides a partial reimbursement to help cover the costs of professional dental cleanings.

👤Who it's for

This subsidy is designed for members of most statutory health funds. If you are enrolled in a statutory health insurance plan, you may be eligible to have part of your dental maintenance costs covered.

🎁What you get

You receive a partial reimbursement for professional dental cleaning services. This is intended to help offset the cost of maintaining oral hygiene through professional procedures.

💰What it costs you

There is no upfront application fee, but you are responsible for the initial payment. You must pay the full amount for the cleaning service at the dentist's office at the time of your appointment. Once the service is complete, you must collect the invoice and submit it to your insurance provider to receive your reimbursement.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that coverage is not universal across all providers. Not all health funds offer this specific benefit. To find out if you are covered, you must check the details of your specific "Bonusprogramm" (bonus program) with your insurance fund. This program determines whether your specific plan will pay for part of your professional cleaning.

📝How to apply

1. Contact your health insurance provider to confirm if they offer a subsidy for professional dental cleaning.
2. Ask your provider if you need to be part of a specific "Bonusprogramm" to qualify.
3. Schedule your professional cleaning appointment with your dentist.
4. Pay the full amount for the cleaning at your appointment.
5. Submit your paid invoice to your health insurance provider to request your reimbursement.
