Pain shouldn't come with a price tag. When you notice your tooth aching, you shouldn’t ignore the discomfort because you aren’t sure how you’ll pay for quality dental care. At Doreen Dental Clinic, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between paying your rent and receiving necessary dental treatment.
So, what does it mean to be a bulk billing dentist, and how can it help you with your oral health needs?
What Is a Bulk Billing Dentist?
At Doreen Dental Clinic, we accept bulk billing for patients; this means we bill Medicare directly, so you don’t have to pay anything out of pocket for covered expenses. We also accept the Medicare benefit fee for covered services.
These services may be covered under bulk billing:
- Dental check-ups
- Dental x-rays
- Clean and polish
- Routine examinations
- Dental fillings
- Root canal therapy
- Dental extractions
Exploring the Benefits of Bulk Billing
If you’re eligible for Medicare and qualify for bulk billing, you’ll enjoy the following benefits:
- Financial benefits — Under the Medicare Child Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS), your child may be eligible for $1,000 of bulk-billed dental treatment. If you are a veteran and DVA Gold Card holder, all you have to do is present your card to receive free dental treatment.
- Time savings — Our dental team will file any necessary paperwork for you, saving you valuable time. We want your dental care to be convenient for you.
Other Financing Options
We accept all insurance plans and offer different payment options for patients who don't qualify for bulk billing. SuperCare can help you access your superannuation early for dental treatment. If you don’t have insurance, we can discuss the SuperCare paperwork with you or explain our other financing options. We won’t quit until we help you fit your necessary dental care into your budget.
