Is aftercare after implant placement covered by insurance?

Cover for aftercare after implant placement differs per health insurer and policy. Under basic health insurance, aftercare costs are usually not reimbursed unless there is a medical indication. Supplementary dental insurance, however, may cover part of the costs. It is wise to obtain clarity about reimbursements before implant treatment begins. In the event of complications such as peri-implantitis, medical necessity may affect reimbursement. Make sure you ask your dentist about the aftercare required after placement. Some insurers require that aftercare is carried out by the original clinician. If you are unsure about reimbursement, you can contact your health insurer for details. For higher costs, it is advisable to have a quotation drawn up for approval. This way, you avoid unexpected costs during the aftercare process.
