Can Private Health Insurance be used for Child Dental Benefits Schedule Services?

Private Health Insurance & Child Dental Benefits Schedule Services

As of first of January 2014 a new medicare scheme has been made available for certain dental services. Allsmiles Dental Centre wanted to answer the question surrounding this new scheme and the use of private health insurance.

Patients with private health insurance covering dental services cannot claim a benefit from both the private health insurer and the Child Dental Benefits Schedule for the same dental service. Patients cannot use private health insurance to ‘top up’ the Child Dental Benefits Schedule benefit they have received for a service. However, private health insurance can be used for any services not provided under the program, but these items must be billed separately.
