Private Health Funds Welcome at Tooth-n-Gum Dental

Health funds

We accept major private health funds at our Huntingdale clinic. Your cover and benefit amounts are determined by your fund and policy.

Claim on the spot

Bring your membership card to your appointment. We process your claim through HICAPS at the time of your visit, so you only pay the gap between our fee and your fund’s benefit.

What affects your benefit

  • Your policy level, annual limits and waiting periods.
  • The treatment category and item numbers that apply to your visit.
  • Your fund’s current benefit schedule and terms.

Confirm your cover

Contact your health fund before treatment to confirm cover, limits and waiting periods. We can provide item numbers and treatment codes, but your fund decides approval and benefit amounts. Fees vary with individual needs and the treatment provided, so ask us for a written quote before you decide.

Other ways to pay

Not covered, or want to spread the cost? We also offer Afterpay, and we can set up an instalment plan for larger treatments or treatment over multiple visits. We also welcome patients with CDBS (Medicare), WorkSafe Victoria, TAC, VEDS and VGDS vouchers.
