Can Xi'an Aiding Medical Cosmetic Plastic Clinic reimburse medical insurance?
Xi'an Aiding Medical Beauty and Plastic Surgery Clinic is a well-known medical beauty and plastic surgery institution located in the center of Xi'an. Many people are concerned about whether the services of this clinic can be reimbursed through medical insurance. We will elaborate on this issue in the following aspects.
1. Provisions of medical insurance policy
According to China's medical insurance policy, medical insurance is for reimbursement of medical expenses for treating diseases, not including purely cosmetic and plastic items. Therefore, plastic surgery in the traditional sense cannot be reimbursed through medical insurance.
However, in recent years, China's medical insurance policy has been adjusted. According to the regulations of the National Health Commission, cosmetic and plastic surgery under certain special circumstances can be included in the medical insurance.
Specifically, if a patient's appearance is damaged due to an accident or disease and needs cosmetic surgery to restore appearance or function, part of the expenses can be reimbursed through medical insurance. However, this needs to meet the specific requirements of the Medical Insurance Bureau, such as the operation must be performed by a specialist, and the diagnosis and operation necessity certificate issued by a doctor need to be provided.
2. Services of Aiding Medical Cosmetic Plastic Clinic
Xi'an Aiding Medical Cosmetic Plastic Clinic provides various cosmetic plastic surgery projects, including facial contour repair, nose augmentation, breast augmentation, fat filling, etc. However, it should be noted that most of these items are pure beauty items and do not meet the reimbursement scope of medical insurance policies.
However, Aiding Medical Cosmetic Plastic Clinic also provides some cosmetic plastic surgery that can be included in the medical insurance reimbursement scope under special circumstances, such as scar repair surgery caused by accidents. For such operations, Edin Clinic will cooperate with the medical insurance policy, provide relevant diagnosis and operation necessity certificates, and help patients obtain medical insurance reimbursement.
3. Process of medical insurance reimbursement
If the patient wants to reimburse the surgery expenses of Xi'an Aiding Medical Cosmetic Plastic Clinic through medical insurance, the following process should be followed:
First, the patient needs to consult the Edin clinic and provide the supporting documents related to the disease or accident. The Edin Clinic will arrange a specialist to make a diagnosis and issue a certificate of necessity for the operation.
Secondly, patients need to submit relevant supporting documents and diagnosis results to the local medical insurance bureau. The medical insurance bureau will review the data and decide whether to reimburse the operation expenses according to the specific circumstances.
Finally, patients can provide relevant surgical records, expense lists and other materials after the operation according to the requirements of the medical insurance bureau, so that the medical insurance bureau can conduct final review and reimbursement.
4. Summary
To sum up, part of the operation items of Xi'an Aiding Medical Cosmetic Plastic Clinic can be reimbursed through medical insurance. However, it should be noted that most of the purely cosmetic plastic surgery projects are still not included in the reimbursement scope. If the patient wants to reimburse the surgery expenses through medical insurance, he/she needs to meet the requirements of the medical insurance policy and apply and reimburse according to the specified process. Therefore, when choosing a medical beauty and plastic surgery clinic, patients need to carefully understand the medical insurance policy and the clinic's service content according to their specific conditions and needs, and make wise decisions.
