At present, the Smile Train Foundation of the United States provides subsidized medical insurance or subsidized treatment for the first cleft lip and palate operation in China. Patients with cleft lip and palate who undergo the first operation can get a subsidy of 2400 yuan from Smile Train Foundation when they go through the discharge formalities. Therefore, in order to get the subsidy for the first operation, patients need to make preparations before hospitalization according to their own conditions: medical insurance card or rural cooperative card, copy of household registration book or ID card, and hospitalization deposit.

If you have a cold, runny nose and other symptoms within two weeks before hospitalization, please be careful not to rush through the hospitalization procedures. Wait until the above symptoms disappear for two weeks before contacting the surgeon to avoid unnecessary trouble after hospitalization.

There is no change in the amount of subsidy for patients with nasal lip deformity, alveolar cleft and velopharyngeal insufficiency after cleft palate surgery. However, the amount of subsidy for rhinolabial deformity after cleft lip surgery needs to be applied according to the amount, and not all of them can be subsidized.
