The Social Insurance Medical Fee Payment Fund is a system designed to facilitate the reimbursement of medical services rendered to patients covered under the national health insurance system.
Who it's for
This scheme is for licensed dentists who provide medical treatments to patients under the national health insurance system. It is designed to support practitioners operating within this specific national framework to ensure they are compensated for their clinical work.
What you get
