The best source of information to find out what you get back from your health fund is the health fund themselves. Every policy and company is different. The factors that come into play usually include the type of policy you hold, the specific treatment you're seeking, and the annual limits applicable for that year. Certain health funds may also have policy resets either at the end of the financial year or the calendar year, impacting your reimbursement potential. For accurate and up-to-date information, we recommend to contact your private health insurance provider.
How do I find out how much I get back?
Edward St Dental will be happy to assist in providing you the information you need to phone your health fund provider. First, you will need to have your dentist's name and provider number details. Make sure you also have the item numbers corresponding to the dental procedures you're planning to undergo, the specific amount associated with each item number and the date of your scheduled treatment on hand. They can provide personalised insights into the reimbursement you can expect based on your policy, treatment details, and any applicable limits.
At Edward St Dental, we're committed to empowering our patients to ensure that you're well-informed every step of the way.
The "gap" is the difference between the total treatment cost and the amount your private health fund covers. What you get back from your health fund can vary depending on the treatment and type of coverage you have with your insurer.
Contacting your health fund or speaking with a member of our dental team at the front desk can help you better understand your coverage allowance and your gap amount.
What Factors Affect the Gap Payment Amount?
Various dynamics can impact gap monies, or the difference between the treatment/service price and your personal coverage allowance.
Factors that may influence the gap include, but are not limited to:
- Service: The type of treatment or procedure you need may play a role.
- Materials Used: Material costs vary, even when satisfying the same treatment, for example, tooth-coloured fillings vs. silver amalgam.
- Condition Complexity: Various conditions may influence the gap.
- Dental Clinic Fees: Dentists have various fee configurations or structures in place.
- Specific Coverage Allowance: Your specific health fund influences the gap allowance.
- Clinic Location: Even the clinic’s location can play a role.
