Our Fees
All treatment is required to be paid on the day of appointment.
For your payment convenience, we have an EFTPOS facility accepting MasterCard & Visa, personal cheque and private Health Fund - HICAPS claims.
On the spot electronic claiming of heath fund benefits through HICAPS is available.
This means you can claim your health fund benefit you may be eligible for at the time of treatment. The health fund benefit amount will be deducted from the overall treatment charge so you only pay the difference. You no longer have to go to your health fund to claim your refund.
Please ensure that you bring your current health fund membership card to every dental appointment.
It's our privilege to provide services to Department of Veterans' Affairs card holders.
Gold and white card holders may be entitled to have dental care provided by Balgownie Dental subsidised by the Department.
For further information please contact the
Department of Veterans' Affairs on 133 254 or visit the DVA Website.
Medicare Schemes - Although Medicare does not cover dental treatment for the majority of patients, there is a current program available to eligible children to receive dental care.
Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)
The Australian Government provides up to $1095 in benefits for eligible children. Service under this program include examinations, x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canals, extractions and partial dentures.
Which children are eligible for this dental service?
A child is eligible if they are:
-
eligible for Medicare, and
-
aged 0 - 17 years at any point in the calendar year, and
-
receive a relevant Australian government payment, such as a Family Tax Benefit Part A, at any point in the calendar year.
How long does eligibility last?
Once a child has assessed as eligible, they are eligible for that entire calendar year (even if they turn 18) or stop receiving the relevant government payment. However, they must be eligible for Medicare on the day the service is provided.
For more information regarding the CDBS, visit Child Dental Benefits Schedule - Services Australia website page or call 13 2 011.
We happily welcome the CDBS service at our practice, and treatment provided under this service is bulk billed with a direct link to Medicare.
