Dental Insurance in Sweden
نویسنده
چکیده
The Swedish national health insurance plan will include dental coverage, beginning January 1, 1974, on the basis of legislation passed by Parliament in May 1973. All residents aged 20 and over who are covered by the national health insurance plan are affected. Dental insurance, like the rest of the national health program, will be financed by employer and employee contributions and general revenues. The new program pays 50 percent of the charges for most routine cases and a greater percentage for more extensive work. Travel costs above a certain limit are partially reimbursed. The patient has a free choice of dentist.
