Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get no-gap dental checkups at Eversmile Dental with Medibank?
We’ve partnered with the Medibank Members’ Choice network to support patients in the Bunbury region, and some Medibank members may be eligible for gap-free checkups and other preventive services. Eligibility depends on your level of cover, available limits, and the specific terms of your policy. We recommend contacting Medibank to confirm your current benefits.
No-gap checkups may support regular oral care by reducing unexpected costs, depending on your cover and treatment needs. Appointments are subject to availability and must meet Medibank’s specific claiming criteria. Contact our team to check appointment availability or if you have questions about your Medibank cover.
Do I need to contact Medibank before my appointment?
Some patients wonder if they need to contact Medibank before visiting a Members’ Choice provider like Eversmile Dental. You can book your appointment directly with us without needing to contact Medibank first. Here’s what you need to know:
- No Referral Needed:
You don’t need to contact Medibank or get a referral before booking your appointment with us. If you hold an active Medibank policy that includes dental cover, you can schedule your visit directly. - Bring Your Medibank Membership Card:
Your Medibank membership card (physical or digital) is all you need to bring to your appointment. We’ll process your claim on the spot using HICAPS. Any applicable gap can be paid at the time of your visit. - We Can Confirm Your Eligibility at the Clinic:
We can’t see the details of your cover, but we can guide you on where to check it. You can view your policy using the Medibank app or by calling their customer service team. - Check Your Limits and Waiting Periods:
It’s a good idea to contact Medibank if you’ve recently started your policy. You should also check your annual limits. This helps you understand what your policy includes before your appointment.
Checking your policy details can help you understand what your health fund may contribute towards your visit.
Can the clinic check what I’m covered for?
We can’t access your specific Medibank cover details, as that information is private and managed by Medibank. However, our team can explain which services usually come with set fees under the Members’ Choice network. We recommend contacting Medibank directly to confirm what your plan includes before your visit. That way, you’ll have a clearer idea of what your health fund may contribute towards your appointment.
When you book, let us know you’re with Medibank so we can guide you on typical inclusions. We’ll always let you know the costs before starting any treatment, so there are no surprises. If you’re unsure about a procedure, we can provide you with item numbers to verify with Medibank. This will help you feel confident about your dental care choices and understand how your cover may apply.
Are children covered under Medibank for dental care?
Dental care for children may be included in some Medibank memberships, depending on the policy held by the family. Families in Bunbury can visit our clinic to access services available through the Medibank Members’ Choice network.
- Cover Type Matters:
Children may be eligible for dental visits if the Medibank policy includes hospital and general treatment for families. This applies to both family and single-parent memberships, depending on the specific level of cover. - No-Gap Preventive Care May Be Available:
Some Medibank members can access no-gap checkups for their children at participating preferred providers. This may include professional cleaning, fluoride treatments, and X-rays, depending on the specific policy and available limits. - Eligibility Depends on Age and Policy:
Children may be covered under a policy until the age of 21 or 25, depending on the Medibank membership terms. Cover often depends on whether they’re full-time students or listed as dependents on the policy. - Preferred Providers Help Lower Out-of-Pocket Costs:
Visiting a Medibank Members’ Choice provider may help lower your family’s dental costs. It can make dental visits more affordable. - Confirmation Is Key:
Contact Medibank directly to confirm what dental services your child may access under your current membership. You can also log into the Medibank member portal to check your policy details and eligibility for your child.
If you’re a parent, visiting a Members’ Choice dentist, such as our clinic, may help manage dental care expenses. It can help you plan your children’s routine dental visits so you’ll have a clearer idea of what’s included and what costs may apply.
What happens if a treatment isn’t fully covered?
If your Medibank policy doesn’t fully cover treatment, you may have some out-of-pocket costs to pay. These costs depend on the type of treatment and the amount your policy covers. At our dental clinic, we’ll always explain the fees clearly before your appointment begins. You’ll have the chance to ask questions and make informed choices about your care.
We can check your Medibank benefit limits on the spot using our HICAPS terminal at the time of your visit. This helps you understand what your health fund pays and what part you’ll be responsible for. While Medibank covers a wide range of services, some treatments may not be included in your plan. To help you, our team is happy to talk you through your options.
