Insurance reimbursement for dental treatment

If your health fund or insurance policy includes dental care, we can help you prepare the documents it requires. A clear estimate, the right forms and an itemised record of treatment make this part of the process easier to manage.

Our support covers the documentation that the practice is responsible for providing. Your fund or insurer determines eligibility and the amount reimbursed under your plan.

How indirect reimbursement works

With indirect reimbursement, you pay for treatment and submit a claim to your fund or insurer, which assesses the eligible services and the amount payable. Limits, deductibles, deadlines and required documents vary between plans.

When you contact us, let us know the name of your fund or insurer. If your plan provides for a prior assessment, we can prepare the estimate and the relevant clinical documents from the practice so that you can request it.

Documents at each stage

  1. Your plan’s requirements

    Share your fund’s instructions and any forms with our reception team. We check which documents the practice needs to prepare and when they are required.

  2. A clear estimate

    The treatment plan describes the proposed procedures and their individual costs. If the fund requires further details, such as the teeth involved or the proposed materials, the dentist provides the relevant information.

  3. A record of completed treatment

    We provide the records of the treatment carried out: invoices, forms to be completed by the practice, and any relevant certificates or images required and available. Our reception team helps you identify the supporting documents to submit.

Your fund’s guidance

FASDAC, FASI, ASSIDAI and QuAS follow different procedures. These official resources are a useful starting point for checking the current rules.

FASDAC

For certain treatments, you can request an indicative assessment of the estimate through your local Manageritalia association. Dental claims require the P01/D form and the supporting documents specified for each procedure.

FASDAC guidance

FASI

Some procedures require a treatment plan to be submitted in advance. The schedule of benefits specifies which clinical documents and certificates are needed. Assessment of the plan is not a commitment to pay.

FASI guidance

ASSIDAI

Dental treatment is considered under plans that include it. In addition to an itemised treatment record, supplementary plans may require the reimbursement statement from the primary fund.

ASSIDAI guidance

QuAS

A dental claim includes the form completed by the dentist, an itemised invoice and evidence of traceable payment. Other supporting documents depend on the procedure listed in the schedule of benefits.

QuAS guidance

If you have Swiss insurance

Swiss compulsory health insurance covers dental treatment only in specific circumstances provided for by law. Supplementary insurance may include other benefits, subject to its own conditions.

For planned treatment in Turin, ask your insurer for written confirmation relating to the treatment in Italy. Clarify which procedures are eligible, which documents are required and what share of the cost you may need to pay yourself. We can provide the practice’s documents needed for this assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I claim reimbursement outside an approved provider network?

If your plan allows indirect reimbursement or a free choice of practitioner, you can submit the expense under its rules. Your fund or insurer checks the eligible procedures, requirements and amounts.

I contacted Dr Gianluca Buniato’s dental practice for advice and a possible estimate to address my many complex dental problems. From the very first appointment, I was impressed by the care and clarity with which solutions were proposed to me, and I was soon able to see how effective they were. I feel I should thank Dr Buniato and his team not only for the professionalism with which they work in a dental practice using excellent technology, at very reasonable prices, but also for their ability to put patients at ease at all times.

Which documents can the practice prepare?

The estimate, itemised invoices and forms to be completed by the dentist. Depending on the treatment and the fund’s requirements, relevant certificates, reports or images may also be needed. The list is checked against your plan.

The experience at the practice

the reception team is well organised when it comes to information, appointments and email reminders for them.

The practice has a very welcoming waiting room, and all the rooms are bright and clean. The staff are professional, and the reception team is well organised when it comes to information, appointments and email reminders for them. The dentists are professional and attentive to each patient’s particular sensitivities. In conclusion, I am fully satisfied with the treatment and the result achieved.

Can I find out how much will be reimbursed before starting treatment?

Some funds offer a prior assessment. We help you prepare the necessary documents, but an estimate may have limitations and does not always amount to a commitment to pay. Confirmation must come from your fund or insurer.

The experience at the practice

his human warmth, helpfulness, courtesy, calm manner and ability to explain the various steps that would follow.

I did not know Dr Buniato and found him through an internet search. My old bite splint had broken, and I was looking for a practice that used cutting-edge techniques to make a new one. From the start, the doctor was very helpful and courteous and clearly explained the work he would need to do. Once the splint had been made, we had to meet several times so that he could adjust it to fit my teeth as well as possible. Now I have a splint that does its job perfectly. Above all, I greatly appreciated his human warmth, helpfulness, courtesy, calm manner and ability to explain the various steps that would follow. The reception staff are excellent too. The practice is clean, modern and well cared for. What can I say: these days, a doctor like this is almost a rarity. So I recommend him and thank him sincerely.

How do I submit a claim?

Each organisation specifies its own submission channel, forms and required signatures. We provide the documents that the practice is responsible for and agree the practical steps with you. For FASDAC, for example, the process goes through the local Manageritalia association.

The experience at the practice

Both organisationally and medically, it is undoubtedly among the best dental practices in Turin.

A dental practice with cutting-edge technology and highly professional staff. The procedures were planned in advance according to the patient’s actual needs and carried out perfectly. Both organisationally and medically, it is undoubtedly among the best dental practices in Turin. Many thanks to Dr Buniato and all the wonderful staff at the practice!

Are the first consultation and diagnostic examinations also reimbursable?

That depends on the services included in your plan. Consultation and examination costs may have different coverage: check the individual items with your fund or insurer rather than assuming the full amount will be reimbursed.

The experience at the practice

attentive and always willing to explain every stage of treatment.

I began treatment with Dr Gianluca Buniato to straighten my teeth as an adult — I am 40 — and I can say it was one of the best decisions I could have made. Thanks to a carefully planned course of orthodontic treatment lasting less than two years, I achieved results I would never have thought possible: my smile has changed completely and I finally feel confident showing it!

Dr Buniato is extremely precise, attentive and always willing to explain every stage of treatment. The entire team is also kind, welcoming and very well organised. The practice, on Corso Francia in Turin, is carefully designed down to the smallest detail and immediately gives you a sense of trust and calm.

Although I live quite far from the practice, the excellent reviews persuaded me to put my trust in the doctor, and I can confirm that it was the right choice.

I absolutely recommend this practice to anyone who wants to improve their smile with professionalism, technology and plenty of personal attention.

Does Swiss supplementary insurance automatically cover treatment in Italy?

No. Both dental benefits and cover for planned treatment abroad need to be checked in your contract. Ask for written confirmation relating to the treatment plan in Italy; we can provide the documents needed to submit it.

The experience at the practice

I’m writing a little more than I usually would because I know how difficult it can be to find a dentist you genuinely feel comfortable with — especially when you are looking for treatment abroad. I came to Turin for dental treatment and honestly could not be happier that I found Dr. Buniato.

What impressed me from the beginning was how thorough and transparent everything was. He takes the time to do a proper assessment, with detailed images and analysis, and then explains clearly what is going on, what the different options are, which one he recommends and what each option would cost. You are never left in the dark or simply expected to trust that someone knows what is best for you. You understand what is being done, why it is being done and what to expect.

That same care continues throughout the treatment. He explains what he is doing and what you may feel before each step, so you are never caught by surprise. You can tell that he is incredibly precise and genuinely cares about getting every detail right.

And the result exceeded my expectations. I had virtually no pain afterwards, despite expecting quite the opposite. The work looks excellent, but even more importantly, it feels completely natural. After dental work, there is usually some adjustment period — you notice that something has changed, or your bite may feel different. With Dr. Buniato, I had none of that. Everything felt completely natural from the moment I left the chair.

I was also genuinely impressed by the technical standard of the practice. The equipment and technology are on a level I have rarely seen, and it is clear that they are used with real expertise rather than simply being there for show.

The whole team is warm, attentive and professional, and you get the feeling that they are willing to take the time needed to do things properly.

I would genuinely recommend Dr. Buniato to anyone looking for excellent dental care in Turin. I’m very happy I found him and will definitely be back for my future treatment.
