Abstract: Implementation of Social Security Agency of Health (SCAH) /BPJS for Dentures Patients at the Usa Community Health Center in Bone Regency 2022. Tooth loss is a problem that can interfere with dental and oral health. This study aims to explore the implementation of social security agency policies for dentures patients at the Usa Community Health Center in 2022. This type of research is a qualitative study using a snowball sampling technique. The results of this study found that the informants had understood the services for installing dental prostheses that were borne by BPJS Health. As for the information, they do not understand the tariffs for dental prostheses or dentures, which are included in the service being covered by BPJS Health. BPJS Health provides a number of medical services for the community, one of which is dental and oral care, in this case dental prostheses or dentures. From the input and process results it was found that for the implementation of BPJS Health for dental prostheses there are still indicators that are not fully achieved, such as the rates of prostheses or dentures which are still misinterpreted by some patients.
