PAYMENT OPTIONS

WE ARE HELPING TO MAKE DENTAL TREATMENT ACCESSIBLE BY PROVIDING USE OF:

-PRIVATE HEALTH FUNDS

-ZIP PAY & ZIP MONEY

EFTPOS & PRIVATE HEALTH REBATES ON THE SPOT.

VICTORIAN DENTAL GROUP utilizes HICAPS, a simple and easy way to process payments for your private health fund claims

HICAPS is an electronic health claims system that allows members of ACA Health Benefits Fund to claim automatically on the spot whilst they are at our dental practice. All it takes is a swipe of your ACA Health membership card through our HICAPS machine.

Using HICAPS will save you time, as you will no longer have to lodge your claim via the post. And, more importantly, you will save money because you won’t be out of pocket during the time it takes to claim your benefit.

AFTERPAY

WE ARE EXCITED TO PROVIDE AFTERPAY TO OUR CLIENTS

Afterpay’s model is simple — Receive dental treatment today and only pay a quarter today. No
interest, fees or hidden costs, pay the remaining 3 installments over the next 6 weeks.

ZIP - TREAT NOW, PAY LATER.

We’ve partnered with Zip to make dental treatment more accessible and give more of our patients a healthier smile.

Zip has two accounts to suit your treatment bill.

CHILDREN'S DENTAL BENEFIT SCHEDULE (CDBS) - MEDICARE KIDS DENTAL SCHEDULE.

If your child is 0-17 years old, you should receive a letter from Medicare to let you know that your child is eligible for dental treatment totalling up to $1,026 over 2 calendar years for basic dental services under CDBS

There are criteria set by Medicare and administered by Centrelink. Not all families are eligible for Medicare CDBS. For more information on the CDBS scheme and eligibility requirements, please click here.

If your child is eligible for Medicare CDBS, we are able to provide you with a statement that you submit to claim any applicable rebate directly to Medicare.

You must pay your account in full for any treatment received on the day of your appointment. Depending on your cover and remaining eligibility, there may be a small out-of-pocket expense after you submit your claim depending on the treatment that is provided. This is entirely determined by Medicare.
