Why does reimbursement for implants differ between insurance policies?

Reimbursement for implants varies widely between health insurers because policies differ. Basic health insurance usually does not cover implants, as they are regarded as non-essential care. Supplementary dental insurance, however, may reimburse part or all of the costs. The reimbursement percentage and maximum cover differ per insurer and policy level. For complex treatments, a medical indication may be required for reimbursement. Some insurers require a referral from a specialist in order to cover part of the costs. It is important to submit a cost estimate before treatment begins. Always check the conditions of your supplementary insurance to avoid surprises. For high costs, payment in instalments or a special arrangement may be possible. Your dentist can advise you on the options within your insurance.
