Understanding Your Health Fund Extras
A simple guide to understanding your health fund cover for dental care
Understanding how your health fund extras work can make dental care more affordable and easier to manage. While we are not a preferred provider for major health insurance providers, we want to help you make the most of your cover.
This page explains how health fund insurance can support your oral health, and offers simple tips on maximising your benefits for check-ups, cleans, and other treatments.
Making 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.
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.
