Reimbursement for orthodontic treatment

HELFO – Health Economics Administration (National Insurance) reimburses public rates set by the Ministry of Health and Care. These tariffs form the basis for calculating social security contributions. Most dentists, also in the public dental service, have prices that are higher than public rates. The gap between public rates and our prices is covered by the patient. Our surcharge is about 20%.

The dentists at Dronningens Tenner have an agreement with HELFO. This means that the expenses that HELFO reimburses are paid directly to the dentist.

The size of support for orthodontic dental treatment varies from 40% to 100% of public rates, depending on how serious the correction is. The four refund groups are listed below. If more siblings are in need of dental regulation, there may be an increased social security benefit from child number two.
