 |
|
| Does anyone know what is covered by national insurance? Went to the dentist yesterday and he said that the work that I need done is not covered. |

| If you can get away w/out the work or if it's purely cosmetic than the insurance won't cover it. Actually, I'm not sure if the national insurance covers dental work at all. |

| Not much dental is covered ... I know from last year that extractions are covered but nothing that is "cosmetic" will be covered. |

Only the basics - necessary extractions and fillings are covered by the NHIC.
I just got cap (W400,000) and bridge (W1,200,000). The prices could have be more (or less) depending on the gold content. |
