Gastines Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 On a recent visit I asked the Dentist to repair what I had left. I thought I'd just get a couple of fillings but ended up with 2 ceramic teeth and bridge needing 4 visits in 3 weeks.Very pleased with the outcome but given a bill for 940 euros.I have C.V. and normal 100% cover but wasn't expecting much back.Within 2 weeks from CPAM and Radiance I had 560 euros repaid, much to my surprise. Bearing in mind the last work of the same nature I had done in UK 25-26 years ago ,cost £990.So. I would imagine some of the payment will find it's way back into your bank but how they work it out remains a total mystery.Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 The CPAM refunds for dental work are shown here:http://www.ameli.fr/assures/.../soins-et-protheses-dentaires/soins-dentaires.phpHow much your mutuelle refunds on top of that depends on the policy you have chosen. For instance, my mutuelle offers levels of cover for dental work, starting at 100%, then 130%, 165%, 240% and 280%, as well as varying % according to the type of dental work.Remember that 100% does not mean 100% of what you have paid, but 100% of the cost recognised by CPAM, which is much lower than the actual cost of most dental care.

Anton Redman Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I believe the Carte Vitalle reader works just like a credit card reader and the dentist or doctors input the full cost and type of work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
