Gubei Smile Dental announces the signing of a direct billing agreement with Shanghai CHC Health Technology Co., Ltd. (“CHC”) , officially becoming a designated direct-billing dental provider in the CHC network. Effective immediately, patients covered by CHC-serviced high-end health insurance plans can receive treatment at Gubei Smile Dental without upfront out-of-pocket payment, settling directly on-site with their insurance card – eliminating the traditional reimbursement process of paying first, collecting documents, and mailing claims.
About CHC: A Leading TPA with Extensive Network Coverage
CHC is a leading third-party administrator (TPA) specializing in mid-to-high-end health insurance in China. Its service network covers corporate group plans, mid-tier medical insurance, and high-end medical insurance, serving approximately 1.5 million policyholders. CHC’s domestic direct-billing network includes over 1,300 medical facilities, while its global network covers more than 720,000 hospitals and clinics. Notably, CHC has established direct-billing partnerships with prestigious public hospitals including Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, demonstrating deep expertise in premium outpatient and inpatient service integration.
Direct Billing Coverage
Under this partnership, patients holding CHC-serviced high-end health plans can access direct-billing settlement at Gubei Smile Dental for the following services:
-
Dental cleanings (prophylaxis)
-
Fillings (restorative restorations)
-
Root canal therapy
-
Periodontal treatment
-
Dental prosthetics (inlays, crowns, etc.)
-
Dental implants
At the conclusion of treatment, patients simply sign a guarantee letter – no cash payment or post-treatment claim filing is required, as CHC settles directly with the clinic.
Target Clientele and Service Upgrade
Located in Shanghai's Gubei international community, Gubei Smile Dental serves a dense population of multinational corporate employees, returnees, and expatriate families, where health insurance coverage rates are significantly higher than the city average. The CHC partnership adds a leading domestic TPA direct-billing option to the clinic's existing insurance network, expanding payment accessibility for corporate group plan holders and mid-to-high-end individual policyholders.
Gubei Smile Dental emphasizes that direct billing represents more than a payment simplification – it is a systemic enhancement to the patient experience. "We want every patient with high-end health insurance to experience seamless, transparent care at Smile – from appointment scheduling and treatment to settlement – so they can focus on improving their oral health rather than navigating cumbersome reimbursement procedures."
Future Outlook
This agreement marks an important step in Gubei Smile Dental's ongoing efforts to expand its direct-billing service infrastructure. The clinic states it will continue to establish partnerships with additional commercial insurers, corporate benefit platforms, and health management service providers, delivering increasingly convenient and efficient dental care experiences for mid-to-high-end clients of diverse nationalities and coverage types.
