Health funds
HICAPS on-the-spot claiming
All Core Dental Group locations have HICAPS terminals, so you can claim from your health fund on the spot using your health fund card. No need to pay upfront and claim back separately. All major health funds are accepted.
Preferred provider status
Core Dental Wyndham and Core Dental Berwick are preferred providers for:
- HCF
- CBHS
- NIB
Eligible members of these funds may receive higher rebates and lower out-of-pocket costs at these locations compared to non-preferred providers. Check with your fund for details of your specific cover.
Orthodontic rebates — important note
Several health funds pay orthodontic rebates only when a specialist orthodontist performs the treatment. If you plan to claim an orthodontic rebate, check with your fund whether treatment by a general dentist is eligible, even if that dentist is an experienced Invisalign provider. Specialist orthodontist Dr David Austin is available at Caroline Springs and Wyndham.
Annual extras limits
Most health fund extras policies have annual limits on dental cover. Timing major dental treatment to align with your annual entitlement can cut out-of-pocket costs considerably. The Core Dental Group team can help you work out how to get the most from your cover.
