What to check before your appointment
- Check that your cover includes dental extras and Member Plus benefits.
- Confirm the percentage benefit and remaining annual limit for preventive dental.
- Ask whether the proposed service is subject to a capped charge or other condition.
- Bring your HBF card or accepted digital membership card.
Costs, benefits and clinical care
Health-fund benefits and payment arrangements do not determine which treatment is appropriate. Your dentist will assess your oral health, explain clinically suitable options and provide an estimate before treatment where practicable. Individual costs depend on the services provided and any benefit or finance approval.
For policy-specific information, contact the relevant fund or program directly. General information on this page is not a guarantee of cover, provider status, rebate or finance approval.
