Fees and charges vary depending on the product selected.
They are all outlined here.
It depends on what your practice offers.
An average membership plan for an individual may cost around $30-40 per month which covers 2 routine dental apts (exams/cleans/small xrays/fluoride) each year, meaning no out of pocket for these two appointments.
The annual fee you will be paying is usually less than what you would pay by visiting your practice twice a year and paying on the day. In addition, you will get % discount from all other dental treatments, as a loyalty reward, potentially saving you $$ over time.
This may also offset some of the costs of health insurance premiums.
These vary according to what your practice offers. Why don’t you ask them? If they don’t have a Dental Membership plan, let us know and we’ll get in touch with them (click here to populate the invite a dentist form)
Call your health insurance provider and ask them how much your monthly premiums would be if you removed your top dental cover. Remember, regular dental care can save you from experiencing dental pain and cost you less in the long run Prevention is better than the cure!
Definitely! You can still claim your health insurance benefits on top of the Practicemembership benefits.
Then you would no longer receive the benefits of the membership plan. It is best to engage your practice on their terms and conditions of membership cancellation.
Most terms and conditions will require a minimal notice period.

After your routine care appointment we will issue you with a receipt for the total cost of the treatment. You can then claim the full rebate from your insurance provider. You will not pay any money to the practice on the day of your hygiene appointment as it is included in the monthly membership fee.
