Can I claim from Dentacare after visiting my dentists?
Dentacare is a yearly membership by which you receive reduced fees from affiliated Dentacare dentists. Dentacare unlike Health Insurance companies does not provide claims or dental fee rebates. You receive your discount (savings) at the time of your visit to the dentist.
Can I join Dentacare if I have health insurance?
Yes absolutely! By becoming a Dentacare member, you can:
- Save on treatments that aren’t covered by your health insurance
- Continue to receive discounted dental fees even if you have reached your health insurance benefit limit
- Start saving immediately without any waiting periods with your health insurance
- If you have Private Health Insurance you’ll need to pay the Dentacare dentist upfront and then make a claim through your Private Health Insurance for a rebate. Most practices find it complicated to process both together through HICAPS or other claimable systems, so therefore you’ll need to make a separate claim via your Health Insurance.
