More than 86,000 applications have been submitted and 71,057 have been approved to date under the scheme “Dentist Pass”whose operating platform opened 15 days ago (May 24).

This is an action implemented by the MAE Information Society and aims to promote and strengthen preventive dental care, for more than 660,000 children, who were born during the calendar years 2011 to 2016, reside legally in Greek territory and have a Social Security Number (AMKA), or a Temporary Foreigner’s Insurance and Healthcare Number (PAAUPA).

We should mention that the “Dentist Pass” is a project of the Ministry of Health, which is implemented by the Ministry of Health within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan Greece 2.0 with funding from the European Union – NextGenerationEU and its total budget amounts to 30 million euros.

The parents or guardians of the potential beneficiaries of the aid (children 6-12 years old) submit a funding application on the program’s online platform https://vouchers.gov.gr/dentistpass. Each family can submit only one application, which includes all children – members of the family.

Each beneficiary of the program receives a digital debit card (pass) in the amount of 40 euros per beneficiary child. Each debit card can cover the entire cost of prescribed dental care services up to the above amount, provided by any private dentist.
