New Delhi, Dec 15 (PTI) Expenses incurred on treatment of dental diseases are reimbursed to beneficiaries of the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) at pre-fixed rates, Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Dinesh Trivedi said today.

Replying to supplementaries during Question Hour in Rajya Sabha, he said only essential dental treatments are reimbursed but not cosmetic surgeries.

Till now only 10 procedures were allowed for reimbursement but now 55 more procedures are being added, he said.

“Procedures for which there are no CGHS rates, reimbursement is considered as per AIIMS rates,” he said adding treatment of asymmetrical teeth of children was not considered for reimbursement as it fell in the category of cosmetic treatment.
