Claim for reimbursement of dental treatments

Visiting the dentist regularly is an absolute must if you want to keep your smile? healthy and your oral health in top form. But doing so can be costly. There are a lot of health insurance companies in your country that will cover a part of your dental charges performed by our Hungarian dental clinic. Our invoices are generally accepted by these foreign health insurance companies. But we suggest that you should always consult your health insurance company prior to your dental treatment in Hungary and bring along the documents required. We gladly will fill them in.

To ensure maximum cover, you should check with your health insurance institution before you go to a dental treatment in Hungary. In general, your health insurance institution will cover your costs only if the law in your country where you are insured recognises the treatment. In the case of non-hospital treatment like dental treatment, you can also seek authorisation before you leave, and will then benefit from the same guarantees. You can also dispense with authorisation and travel directly to the country where you wish to receive treatment (country of treatment) and claim for reimbursement on your return. The cost of your treatment will then be covered under the terms of your country were your health insurance institution is based.

As we know you can get tax relief in Ireland for dental treatment: Tax relief for the cost of Dental Treatment should be claimed on Form Med 1 which can be obtained from your local Revenue office or by telephoning the Revenue Forms & Leaflets Service on LoCall 1890 306 706

Does the National Health Insurance Company of my own country pay for the dental work done in Hungary?

In principle, your treatment costs will be covered only if the law in the State where you are insured covers the treatment. For example, the cost of spa cures is covered in some countries but not in others. Find out from your insurance institution before you travel.
