Haven’t You Had Scaling Yet This Year? / Annual Scaling Benefit Cost / Gangnam Leon Dental Clinic

Hello, this is Gangnam Leon Dental Clinic😊

Have there been any of you who haven’t had scaling yet this year?

If so, please use the scaling health insurance benefit that is granted only once a year before it expires on 12/31!

Today, we’ll look at the details of the scaling benefit and the scaling cost covered by health insurance.

Prevention & management of periodontal disease: scaling

During seasonal transitions, when the seasons change, it is easy for immunity to drop, so health management is essential. However, many people tend to neglect oral health.

Scaling is a treatment that prevents and manages periodontal disease by removing tartar and bacterial film (plaque) that accumulate on the tooth surface and between the gums.

As a basic way to maintain oral hygiene and prevent gum disease, it is important to receive it regularly.

How can you receive scaling with health insurance benefits?

The National Health Insurance Service provides an annual scaling benefit for all insured persons and dependents aged 19 and older.

The benefit is limited to once per year, and if it is not used within that year, it expires automatically.

✔ Eligible age and qualifications for insurance benefits

• Adults aged 19 and older
• Health insurance subscribers and dependents

In other words, anyone in Korea aged 19 or older

✔ Number of times the insurance benefit applies

Once a year (based on 1/1~12/31 each year)

What is the cost of scaling with health insurance benefits?

The average out-of-pocket cost for scaling with health insurance benefits is about 30% of the total treatment cost, usually around the low 10,000 won range to around 20,000 won.

(There may be slight differences depending on the clinic or hospital.)

This is clearly different from the about 50,000 to 70,000 won paid when done without insurance.
