Health Funds
HICAPS On-The-Spot Claiming
All seven Core Dental locations have HICAPS terminals. HICAPS allows instant on-the-spot claiming from your health fund using your health fund card - no need to pay upfront and claim back separately. All major health funds are accepted.
Preferred Provider Status
Core Dental Wyndham and Core Dental Berwick are preferred providers for:
- HCF
- CBHS
- NIB
Eligible members of these funds may receive higher rebates and lower out-of-pocket costs at these locations compared to non-preferred providers. Check with your fund for details of your specific cover.
Orthodontic Rebates - Important Note
Several health funds provide orthodontic rebates only when a specialist orthodontist performs the treatment. If you are claiming an orthodontic rebate, check with your fund whether treatment by a general dentist (even an experienced Invisalign provider) is eligible. Specialist orthodontist Dr David Austin is available at Caroline Springs and Wyndham.
Annual Extras Limits
Most health fund extras policies have annual limits on dental cover. Timing your major dental treatment to take maximum advantage of your annual entitlement can reduce out-of-pocket costs significantly. The Core Dental team can help you understand how to make the most of your cover.
