Health Funds
Make the most of your health fund extras.
If you’re a health fund member with extras, you could be entitled to a wide range of benefits.
It’s likely your extras cover means you’re entitled to at least one gap-free* check-up a year. It's worth checking with your health fund to see what you can claim.
Private health cover can be confusing, we can help walk you through the process so it’s easier to understand.
How a health fund can help:
Investing in your health is one of the best ways you can future-proof your wellbeing, and help minimise out-of-pocket healthcare costs through hospital and extras cover.
Extras cover is health insurance that covers you for out-of-hospital healthcare and medical services that are not covered by Medicare.
If you have extras cover you are likely covered for more than you think; so be sure to check with your health fund provider and see what you are covered for.
What percentage will your health fund pay?
This will vary depending on the following factors:
• The level of extras cover that you have
• The specific treatment(s) that you’re undertaking
• Whether or not we participate in your fund’s member’s network
• Applicable yearly limits for “major” dental work (such as crowns and bridges)
We recommend a simple solution to this complexity — visit us for a checkup and obtain a treatment plan and quote. This document will include all relevant item numbers and costs, which your health fund can use to calculate your refund in advance.

Why regular check-ups are important!
Dentists recommend having a check-up and clean twice a year. Having a routine dental check-up comes with a long list of benefits; from preventing migraines and cavities, to helping to alleviate Sleep Apnoea symptoms!
Not only can this help you maintain good oral hygiene, but it can help you prevent any future issues that have yet to surface.
