HEALTH FUNDS

Peaceful Dental we accept all health funds.

Using HICAPS on-the-spot claiming we are able to swipe your health fund card after your appointment and instantly claim the rebate for you.

This is dependent on which health fund you are with and also the level of cover you are on. At the end of your appointment, your dentist will provide you with a treatment plan, which will include a list of item numbers. An item number is a 3-digit code that you will need to quote to your health fund. Following this, your fund will be able to tell you exactly how much you are covered for.

Most health funds classify dental treatment into two categories; general dental and major dental.

General dental treatment can include:


  • Diagnostic and preventive services (examinations, X-rays, scale and clean)
  • Restorations (fillings)
  • Extractions
  • Mouth guards

Major dental can include:


  • Crowns and bridgework
  • Indirect restorations
  • Dentures
  • Root canal treatment
  • Surgical extractions
  • Periodontics
  • Orthodontics

Each year there is a maximum benefit you can claim in each of these categories.
