For a more convenient experience at Enso Dental North Perth, please bring the following items to your appointment when using your health fund:

• Your health fund membership card:
  This is essential for processing your claim. Our clinic is equipped with a HICAPS system, which allows for on-the-spot claims processing directly from your health fund.
• A valid form of identification:
  Bringing a valid ID, such as a driver’s licence or passport, helps us to confirm your identity. It is also necessary to check whether your health fund details match our records.
• Any relevant health fund documentation:
  If you have received specific pre-approvals or documentation from your health fund regarding your cover, please bring these along. They can provide valuable information regarding your eligibility and cover limits for the planned dental treatment.

Bringing these items will help your appointment go seamlessly, allowing you to take full advantage of the benefits provided by your health fund. At Enso Dental North Perth, we are dedicated to creating a supportive and hassle-free environment for all your dental needs.

During a consultation, your dentist can explain to you the amount of benefit covered under your health fund policy. It can vary depending on the treatment you’re getting and the details of the plan. Another way to find out is by reaching out to your health fund provider directly to ask about the specific details of your cover. They can inform you about the percentage of costs covered, any caps or limits, and waiting periods for different dental services.

With your health fund details on hand, our team at Enso Dental North Perth can provide a pre-treatment estimate. This helps you understand the likely out-of-pocket expenses for your planned dental procedures.

As we’ve mentioned, the policy of each health fund differs widely. So it’s very important to be aware of the details. That way, you can prepare the necessary documents to bring, potential out-of-pocket costs, and other requirements before using health fund benefits.

Health funds generally cover a wide array of dental services, which are often categorised into general dental, major dental, orthodontics, and endodontics.

• General dental:
  These are preventative services such as dental examinations, routine teeth cleanings, and simple tooth extractions.
• Major dental:
  This category often includes dental crowns and wisdom tooth extractions.
• Orthodontic:
  Health funds may cover traditional dental braces and retainers.
• Endodontics:
  It generally involves root canal treatments and other services related to dental pulp.

The specific extent of cover for each treatment option depends on the policy of your preferred health fund. For more information, please don’t hesitate to contact our clinic to help elaborate on the details of the dental services covered.

The process usually involves a few steps. Firstly, you can scan your health fund card to the HICAPS card terminal immediately after your appointment for a relatively instant claim. The amount covered by your health fund will be calculated quickly, and you will only pay the remaining gap.

If you opt for an alternative, you can keep your receipt and submit a claim through your health fund’s app or online portal. Take a clear photo of your receipt and submit it. The claim is usually processed within a few business days, and the payment is made directly into your account. For more details, you can call us to answer your related questions regarding the claiming process.
