A September 14 district report says Jing’an’s dental disease prevention institute has introduced direct settlement for supported commercial dental insurance across its outpatient branches. Patients authorize the service before counter settlement; the invoice identifies the insurer and payment amount.

For international patients, the practical step is to check the exact policy with both the clinic and insurer before booking. The announcement does not establish acceptance of every overseas plan. Ask which costs remain payable, whether preauthorization is needed and whether your passport can be used for registration. PatientChina provides general planning information; coverage decisions remain with the relevant institutions.
