Are you in a Health Fund?
The Australian Dental Association has recently had a look across the board at a lot of health funds and found a common query from patients.... "Why are my Health Fund rebates for dental treatment so low?" If you would like to know what was uncovered, visit www.ada.org.au/rebates and you can read all about it. You are certainly not alone. A lot of patients across a lot of funds are experiencing similar issues. See what else you can do!
Know your fund and know your year - this can also effect how you claim. A "health fund year" can be defined as a Calendar year (January to December), Financial year (1 July through to 30 June) or Anniversary year (Date of policy start). You should check with your Private Dental Health Fund about which "year" applies to your level of cover.
