Is skull repair covered by medical insurance?

Is cranial repair covered by health insurance? Cranial bone repair surgery should be covered by medical insurance in most places, but this depends on the regulations of each local medical insurance administration. In addition to the cost and reimbursement, you should also pay special attention to the choice of repair materials and the level of the doctor. Cranial repair is a relatively common routine surgery in neurosurgery. In the current society, the economy is developing, life is more convenient, and clothing, food, housing and transportation have been greatly improved. But while we enjoy these conveniences, there may be some problems that arise, such as more traffic accidents and more diseases among people. And some traffic accidents, production safety accidents, and their own cranial diseases may require craniotomy, debridement and decompression, which eventually cause cranial defects. Therefore, cranial defects have become a very common clinical disorder in neurosurgery, and cranial bone repair surgery has been carried out more widely than before. It is understood that many local hospitals choose the traditional titanium mesh material for skull repair, and the results are not ideal. Although the performance of titanium mesh, a metal material, is somewhat progressive compared to earlier materials such as bone cement, acrylic, plexiglass, silicone, etc., there are still many defects and shortcomings, plus the operator may not be very fine, postoperative rejection, infection, wear scalp, material exposure and other problems. It is understood that polyetheretherketone PEEK is a very advanced material with excellent performance, which can very well overcome the various problems that may occur with titanium mesh and achieve the desired results, and has become a new trend in cranial repair materials. Our team uses polyetheretherketone PEEK material, continuous technical improvements and upgrades, currently has four technical innovations, refined operation, to ensure tissue activity and adequate blood flow, but also the introduction of the concept of cosmetic plastic surgery, while widely carried out PEEK cranial repair plastic surgery, in the clinical results achieved good results, widely praised.
